[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a bit of a crapshoot how colleges view the IB. That said, I think it is generally a much better foundation for studying once you are at college than AP. Less memorization, more writing/analysis. My kid is very glad she did it now. Something to consider if you are one of the rare people that cares about education vs gaming the college application system.[/quote] Both of these are education. AP classes are meant to act as substitutes for Intro level survey courses. If your child wants a deep dive in eight topics in world history, that is great, but it also means that they have substantive gaps in the breadth of their knowledge. I would argue breadth before depth is appropriate for high school.[/quote]
