For financial purposes or simply because you’re not fond of schoolwork?
If financial, and you’ve got stats for Top 30 admittance, consider schools with worthy scholarships to help. Need based aid can also come into play. That’s what many of our top students do.
If you’re not fond of schoolwork then let folks know what major you’re interested in and it can be easier to find target schools.
As others have said, Top schools aren’t as noted for giving credit within a major for AP. Most of them assume a student has had an AP level class to set the foundation for their own “entry level” class. They aren’t always repeats of each other. The depth differs considerably.
