[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We wish we could go back and have our kid choose AP over IB because his college gives credits for AP but not IB. [/quote] OP said they don't have a lot of APs in their school. I would also encourage your kid to take the IB courses but not necessarily go for the diploma. They can self study for AP exams if they want to. Colleges only give credit for HL IB exams with scores of 6 or 7, some 5. I say this as a parent of an IB Diploma grad. For DC, it wasn't hard. Lots of work, yes, but DC is very high achieving, so DC didn't find IB difficult at all. We are absolutely not pushing DC#2 to go for the IB diploma because this DC doesn't need the challenge, and our HS has a lot of AP courses.[/quote]
