[quote=Anonymous]I think what a lot of APS parents don't realize is that colleges are looking at Northern Virginia as a region, and not just APS specifically. So APS kids are competing with each other, but also with kids from Fairfax, FCC, Alexandria, and Loudoun. If you are talking about IB, FCC does a lot better job of infusing the entire 6-12 curriculum with IB instead of just 11th & 12th grade. Similarly, FCPS offers a more accelerated math and computer science track than APS through their AAP program, which opens the door for FCPS kids to take more AP classes in math and comp sci earlier in high school. I do think that makes it harder for a smart APS student to stand out to colleges from among the wider NoVA student community, particularly if they don't have an athletic hook. [/quote]
