[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS went to UMD for engineering. He only took Calc AB and AP Stats, in addition to AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Physics and APES. Plus APs in social studies, economics etc.

[b]Do all high schools offer that? [/b]Shouldn’t they at least offer what UMD expects of a STEM student?

It was fine that he didn’t have Calc BC or multivariable because he took those in the Honors sections with amazing professors. Never would have learned as much in HS.[/quote]

There was a longish thread a while back that pointed out (correctly) that Einstein, at least, offers zero AP science classes. [/quote]

Which means kids are not as competitive for college.  [/quote]

UMD treats IB as equivalent to AP. Sometimes harder to get credit though.[/quote]
Most other schools don't though[/quote]

IB is highly respected internationally and domestically.  What schools don’t like it?

Is the problem for Einstein kids who don’t want to do the whole IB program? If they just want one or two APs, they can’t?[/quote]

You don’t have to take IB classes.  You can just do regular or the ap they offer.  [/quote]
