[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As for the non-IB diploma candidates at IB schools going to the bottom of the pile at most selective colleges, wouldn't that be the same for anyone that doesn't get "most rigorous" marked on their college app?[/quote] The concern is that, for non-IB diploma students at IB schools, that decision has already effectively been made. The determination for students at AP schools is less binary. I'm convinced this is one of the primary reasons why parents at schools like Langley, McLean, Madison, Woodson and Oakton remain staunchly in favor of the AP curriculum. Even at a top local IB school like Marshall or Robinson over 3/4 of the graduating seniors do not receive an IB diploma. At some of the other local schools with IB programs the percentage is much lower.[/quote]
