[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mistake. I was thinking Edison was AP for some reason, not IB. You are correct. And, I generally agree with your sentiment that it's not going to be quite so easy to compare students from TJ and Edison. But, I also think that if you take 3 students - one that went to TJ, one that took AP classes, and one that took IB classes, and they have the same SAT/ACT scores and grades, those students are likely to be viewed similarly by college admissions boards. All three challenged themselves to the maximum extent possible given what was offered at their school and appear to have accomplished similar levels of academic achievement. Other things like extracurriculars may be items that will distinguish the students from each other in that situation. [/quote] Thanks for your continuing, even-handed responses in this thread. I appreciate the perspective.[/quote]
