[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had visits to DS school from 3 IVYs who told us that they prefer IB programs because they know what they are getting. AP classes vary more from school to school and don't produce the same strength in writing even for those who graduate with certificates. DS is at a school that is non-IB. We are now looking at IB schools for our next DS, FWIW. We are not very familiar with them yet. [/quote] Many kids who are doing AP send the AP test scores in with their applications. Provided that the scores are good (4s or 5s), that is. You will have test results for any AP tests taken freshman (unusual), sophomore or junior years. This helps answer colleges' concern about the quality of teaching in AP classes. (As an aside, I imagine will spread to IB programs now that tons of schools offer IB.) I know IB kids who have taken AP tests too.[/quote]
