<p>Im trying to make an important decision.
I want to go to a school like University of Cambridge or University of Oxford from America.
Should i go to a prep school like Phillips Academy andover or should i go to the public school in my town that offers IB courses? which will give me a better chance of getting in?</p>
<p>IB for sure.</p>
<p>Why would you say so?</p>
<p>IB is accepted and understood in the UK. AP is not.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This. If you’re applying internationally, IB is always better than AP, because it’s an internationally-recognized (and internationally-praised) program.</p>
<p>If you want to go to the University of Cambridge, then you should go into the Cambridge program if a school around you has one.</p>
<p>no cambridge program near me, but i know andover has connections with them and they have had many graduates that went to oxford. also i was looking into going to eton or harrow for sixth form either for real or through a semester exchange program through andover.</p>
<p>Andover has name recognition. As do other top boarding schools in Northeast.</p>
