Washington University at St. Louis accepts AP credit for Computer Science in
the same way that it accepts AP credit for Mathematics:  You take an upper
level (second semester or sophomore) course.  If you pass with a grade of B or
better, then you receive credit for all preceding courses.

This is of course going to screw some people up, but by and large it works.
