[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB is very rigorous with tons of writing, better for getting into a college, AP is better for higher number of college credits earned. [/quote] Neither is better for getting into college. The most important thing is taking a rigorous load for your school. DCUM (and NoVa in general) is very anti-IB, I think mostly bc they don’t quite understand it. I think the writing in IB really helps with college level writing/papers. If the goal is to get college credits, then AP makes sense. A lot of professors say that even if a kid gets a high score on an AP exam—they might not be prepared for coursework that comes after an intro level college course. Someone asked this question on the professor subreddit (DE vs AP vs IB) and it was an interesting discussion. [/quote]
