[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges do not view a student who takes 4 AP courses any differently than they view a student who takes 4 IB courses. Where the difference comes in is if that student took all 4 AP or IB courses in only math/science or only history/English. A student needs to prove that they are highly capable in all areas. [/quote] Wrong. The IBO places such heavy emphasis on the IB diploma, as do the small number of IB diploma recipients, that anything less than an IB diploma at an IB school is considered sub-standard by many schools. Not so with AP, which has a more graduated approach. And, of course, if 4 IB courses are the equivalent of 4 AP courses, that would be even more reason to pare back on IB within FCPS, since IB is considerably more expensive per student. [/quote]
