[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's much less work, duh! [/quote] Let me elaborate on my post above. IB is much more rigorous and teaches problem-solving. AP crams facts and there is zero critical thinking involved. From an intellectual perspective, it's nul. However since IB requires more work, and universities do not differentiate between the two during admissions, parents and students correctly pick the one that requires less work - because their goal is college entrance, and not growing as thinkers. When too much pressure to enter college is created, expect people to take shortcuts. [/quote] The schools that I have talked to do not treat AP and IB the same for admissions purposes. All of them told me IB was preferred.[/quote]
