[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of AP and IB diploma students admitted to good Virginia schools. The only error here is thinking that being an IB diploma student or taking a certain number of AP classes should guarantee admission to specific schools. It's sad when parents push their kids into programs like IB or into taking all AP courses without understanding this. [/quote] Agree. IMO one of the main benefits of IB is that it is that if you do well enough, all colleges will consider your HS rigor to be acceptable. It provides a limit on what is "enough" that AP does not have...which lead to the crazy escalation of kids wanting more AP credits than the next guy. Collegeboard is raking in the bucks. HS should not be an endurance event.[/quote]
