There are students in the AP/IB courses who really don't belong in AP or regular college prep but there is no in-between honors.

Ha ha, I applied to W&M my senior year as out of state, and got a scholarship for 1/2 of in-state tuition. I ended up not going, but that was just because I got into my first-choice and decided to go there.
My HS had honors, AP, and IB. I think the maximum number of AP courses was about 5. AP is funny because most of the super-selective private schools don't even take the credits. I was offered a year for IB, but didn't take it because I wanted to study abroad.
I absolutely would not commit to a school just because of a specific major.
