How to create a college list without many, if any, AP's?

Usually once we’ve gotten that list, I remove colleges with a graduation rate of less than 70% (this is a completely arbitrary number I’ve come up with…since graduation rates most often correlate to financial ability/resources of students/family/school - I am comfortable with schools that have graduation rates above 70%).

Yes, graduation rates proxy student finances as well as admission selectivity. Screening by high graduation rates mostly means screening for a high enough combination of student finances and admission selectivity.
