[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100% IB if your kid has any analytical writing genes at all. They will get better and better with IB. My DC is in a GE required writing class in college and to her, it is downright silly, the level of instruction, the lack of writing ability among her peers. she says she does other homework during the 90 minute class. The IB prepared her well and she is ahead of the game because of it.[/quote]

+1 Yes, IB for college preparation without a doubt.[/quote]

Another +1 to this and the post to which it's responding. Our DC wanted IB so we moved her to the nearest IB HS (the assigned HS was AP only). College readiness in terms of writing skills, working in groups, writing a lengthy (for HS) research paper, having to do presentations. DC is a rising senior in college now and still remarks sometimes how IB was tough but gave her confidence she wouldn't be thrown by handling multiple assignments requiring a lot of writing and research and class presentations.

OP, if your kid is on the fence, you and your kid might see if you can talk to the IB coordinator at whatever would be your DC's IB school, and to the AP coordinator (or whatever term AP uses) at the AP school.
