[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the elite private high schools have dropped AP courses and are offering more advanced coursework rather than being restricted by the low quality AP curriculums.[/quote]

Like what? What is more advanced than AP/ib?[/quote]

Real college level coursework is more advanced than AP/IB.  [b]What elite high schools and T100 colleges offer.[/b][/quote]

If T100 colleges (MIT, Stanford, Berkeley) give credit to AP as equivalent to their own courses, then logically they are not more advanced than AP. These “elite private high school” courses don’t even get the college credit AP does. [b]Use your brain a little and get past the private school marketing talking points.[/b]

You must be joking.

Top colleges are very direct and clear than AP is inferior to their own courses.  They usually do not give credit to AP as equivalent to their own courses.  If they give you credit at all, it is for the lowest possible course or just general credits that usually do not substitute for a required class.

Also, elite private high schools do offer college credit through DE.  These high schools can directly give you college credit for their own high school courses.  These DE credits generally transfer better than an AP credit would.[/quote]

AP Calculus BC is equivalent to MIT’s 18.01 Calculus. If it’s good enough for MIT, it’s good enough for me too.

I’d really like to see what kind of coursework MIT accepts from that “elite private” of yours.[/quote]

18.01 is the lowest level mathematics course taught at MIT[/quote]

LOL! You’re the lowest level of a human, aka a moron. Name that high school with the amazing advanced courses.[/quote]

Resorting to insults is a sign of low intelligence.  Your interest in MIT is curious to say the least.[/quote]
