There's no reason that you couldn't start any AP with 3rd level characters. Sure the PCs might find it easy but you could bump up a couple of encounters or just let them enjoy being a bit extra useful early on. 5000xp (for being 3rd level) quickly becomes a meaningless amount as the AP progresses and you'll soon find they are at the right level for the AP by the end of book one anyway.
