[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've posted this before:  both of my college grad kids had roommates with IB diplomas.  Both think they would have preferred AP.  They would have had more college credits.[/quote]

There are going to be examples of college kids who both regret and appreciate IB and AP as well.

Both of my friend's daughters, who did IB diplomas in FCPS, say they feel they are better prepared for college research and writing than their college friends who did AP, and are less stressed by their many writing assignments than their peers who did AP (or who didn't do either AP or IB). Did these girls leave high school with a bunch of college credits so they could skip lots of required courses? Not really. Did they leave high school enthusiastic and confident about learning and unafraid of lengthy assignments? Yes. They were well aware in HS that they would get fewer credits for IB but didn't care, and now that they're in college they are fine with what they say IB gave them.[/quote]
