[quote=Anonymous]When I looked into this a few years ago, it was my understanding that 1) some college might prefer one or the other for granting credit, but there wasn’t a clear winner among US colleges. Both are considered rigorous courses. 2) if the student intends to go to college abroad, IB is better. 3) IB is more of a set course of study re: what you must take, whereas AP is more a la carte/take the classes that interest you most. It’s also difficult (but not impossible) to do full IB + band/chorus/orchestra. We went with AP in the end. [/quote]
