We have to look more I think at how adcoms see it, and I’ve mentioned before, there are a few APs that are considered gold standards for the highly selective colleges, these are ones where the colleges know are tough regardless of teacher or high school:

STEM - AP Calc, AP Chem, AP Physics C (mech and e/m)
non-STEM - APUSH, APLAC, APLit, AP in a language
