I guess but I went to a major well-known university that isn't weird or exceptional in their process and has the same table of AP to course number mapping for every student so we were all in the same boat.
And in hindsight of course that's how it works, both because the university isn't keen on cost savings but also because every student is coming loaded with APs. AP physics isn't "college physics" anymore it's just high school physics and the optional prereq to Physics 101.
