[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, disagree with the prior posters. Yale considers these all equal: AP, de and IB[/quote]

They do not consider them equal.  Student effort matters and is recognized accordingly.  
The more competitive the university the more stringent their criteria.  At yale, even an AP score of 5 in AP Chemistry, AP CS A, Physics 1 or 2, Macro/micro, etc... dont mean a thing. For that matter a 4 in AP English Lang and AP Lit is ignored.

They only consider a 5 in AP US history, AP English Lang, Lit,  4 or 5 in World Language, 5 in Physics C, 4 o 5 in Calc BC.

No, you’re wrong. You’re looking at whether the kid gets credit for the classes. Quoting Yale (which confirms what I said):

Admissions officers are familiar with various types of advanced coursework, including AP, IB, A-Levels, Dual Enrollment, and others, but have no preference for one advanced curriculum over another. We also understand that the availability of advanced coursework varies significantly from school to school. For matriculating students, top scores on AP or IB exams can, in some cases, be used for the purposes of course placement or acceleration (i.e. completing the requirements for an undergraduate degree in fewer than 8 semesters). Details of the Yale College policies on acceleration are available in the Yale College Programs of Study.
