[quote=Anonymous]Not from FCPS, but I doubt it. Reasons: 1) Seems like a way that ETS is trying to compete with IB, which is an already-established international credential. 2) Scores of 3 are not considered competitive/ enhancing for Ivies. Below that, probably doesn't matter because just taking some APs is sufficient. 3) AP already created some recognition awards for scoring across multiple tests (AP Scholar, etc.). 4) Numbers in FCPS that you report are pretty low -which suggests many top students don't bother. My kid faced a decision like this with IB. He took some IB classes and some AP classes. He got in where he wanted to go. He reports that some kids who got the IB diploma are not satisfied with the return on their time invested. A lot depends on what university you are targeting/will attend. And whether your goal is maxing credits toward the degree. I'd expect parallels with this AP-based program.[/quote]
