[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That's where I think the AP schools have the advantage. The kids end up with a peer group that is more likely to encourage them to challenge themselves. Yet, they really don't have to load up entirely on AP classes, as colleges don't expect that. But, if you are at an IB school and not doing the full diploma program, it's very easy for admissions officers to decide the student wasn't taking the "most demanding" courses available[/quote]

I prefer AP, but if you think the colleges don't care about how many AP classes are taken, you are sadly mistaken.  If a school offers 25 AP courses, and a student only takes 2, it will be noted.[/quote]

True.  Big difference between 2 and 25, however, with no one saying at a particular point in the middle you do or don't get an "AP diploma." [/quote]

Back when I was in high school, I got 4s and 5s on X number of AP tests, and got some sort of award certificate. It wasn't a diploma, but I was proud of it!

This! Here it is!
