How come Caltech doesn't take any AP credits?

@zoogies: Well, I’m talking more about classes like AP * History, AP Music Theory, AP Psychology, etc. than AP English (because I read that Caltech does have a placement test for English). I don’t quite understand because the humanities don’t build up towards your major, so why is it important that if a student wants to take a more advanced Psych class then he must retake what he already learned? Are AP humanities exams also incomparably easy in relation to the humanities at Caltech?

@thechc: I’m sorry. You’re probably right.
