<p>I am a freshman in high school I'm taking honors and AP at the moment I talked to my guidance counselor about AICE she said that she would love to have me. So I guess my question is what universities will look at AICE over AP? I'm looking primarily at Ivy League schools. On another subject I can take AP and honors courses online would that be a good idea?</p>
<p>Please help</p>
<p>What is AICE?</p>
<p>Advanced International Certificate of Education</p>
<p>We have AICE at my school. There is a list of colleges and universities that consider your credits. I believe that can be found somewhere on the University of Cambridge website. Most top/highly selective schools will consider them. Regardless, I think the AICE diploma is seen as something impressive on one’s transcript, though they are easier than APs for the most part.</p>
<p>^ Also. I think certain schools weigh the classes differently, or not at all, based on whether they are A level or AS level. Many will only award credit for A levels.</p>
<p>Can you post a link to the universities that take acknowledge AICE credit? I can’t seem to find it thank you.</p>
<p>AP Chem is infinitely easier than AICE Chem (AS and A Level). Also, A level Mathematics (aka AICE Math) not only covers all of AP Calc AB, but a multitude of other topics. However AP Physics C is way harder than AICE physics. The rigor all depends on the subject</p>
<p>And, by the way, when considering an academic pathway, one should consider many more factors than simply how “good colleges” will perceive them. Think of your interests. Research the syllabi. Decide whether or not you want depth (AICE) or breadth (AP). I subscribe to the belief that an all-of-the-above approach provides the most enriching academic experience.</p>
<p>AICE Global Perspectives is also a must-have course on a college application. Ivies love that global/big-minded crap</p>
