[quote=Anonymous] I think the key thing colleges are looking for is the [b]rigor[/b] of your high school program, that is, did you take the most challenging courses on offer. This could be from IB or AP. I agree that colleges look "favorably" on the IB diploma - I think that's hard to argue. The real question would be, do they look more or less favorably on IB vs. lots of APs, or do they view them about the same. My guess is they view them about the same - IB teaches great writing, but you only have the grades (which could vary by teacher and school) until you take the final tests. I agree with PP that APs can be used to skip 101-level courses and move straight into Music Theory 201 or whatever, but they cannot be used for credit. Also, not all AP results can be used for credits in certain subjecs. Like PP, we think probably the main benefit of the APs was to get DD into the ivy, because they aren't a lot of use now that she's there.[/quote]
