[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP. It’s designed for students planning to attend college in the U.S. Maybe if our kid were planning to attend a university abroad we’d consider IB. But the better high schools in FCPS are also AP schools so that would have to be factored in as well. [/quote] OP, there is a misperception sometimes that IB is only for kids who might go abroad to college. Not accurate. US universities understand IB perfectly well and value it. Colleges in the US recognize students for taking [i]whatever[/i] is the "most rigorous" academic path at their high schools, whether that is AP or IB. Posters here like to say that US colleges don't understand IB and do understand AP, but that wasn't at all the case for our kid's applications. I would bet that the other parents posting here about IB and college likely would say the same thing. [/quote]
