[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prestigious colleges are starting to deny credit for AP classes.

Prestigious colleges deny both AP and IB credit.  They don't think IB and AP classes are of the same caliber as their own, which makes sense.  I can't imagine an IB class at Marshall or an AP class at McLean being the same as a class at an IVY.  This is a decent summary that either is fine for getting you looked at by colleges, even if you don't get college credit.

Actually coming from an IVY school I'd say the AP/IB classes would be harder. But this was several years ago.[/quote]

The fact that Ivies may not give credit for AP/IB classes doesn't mean that they and other competitive schools don't resort to heuristics and presumptively reject the kids coming from IB schools who aren't IB diploma candidates. It's harder to resort to such a rule of thumb for kids coming from AP schools.[/quote]
