Something feels odd. OP is making statements that misinform us or contradict.
“UC top schools accept by students SAT and grades first. Uc does not accept student who doesn’t take Ap…” WRONG. UCB and UCLA are holistic.
She claims not to compare, but goes on to…compare.
There’s a limit to how much we can try to read between the lines, correct the misinfo, and repeat the same advice:
-This is only the first weeks of 8th.
-You need info about *your * high school, we don’t know.
Get the right info.
@Jayku – I notice that you have asked a few times when IB students can start AP courses. I am not sure, but you may be combining the two programs, which are separate. IB (International Baccalaureate – http://www.ibo.org/) is a separate program from AP (Advanced Placement – https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/home).
Both AP and IB allow students to take courses in HS to prepare them for exams that (if they earn a certain score) will grant them college credit (assuming the school where the child matriculates will accept the credit).
While students may be able to take some IB courses on a class by class basis, the approach is more holistic, and students who follow the full IB curriculum can be eligible for an IB diploma. AP courses are on more of a class by class basis.
IB has a program for “middle years” – which they define as 11 - 16, but the IB diploma program is for ages 16 - 19, which is the US is generally junior/ senior year.
As others have mentioned, many schools will not generally allow 9th graders to take most APs. I agree with others, make an appointment with her middle school guidance counselor to get a sense of the courses that are available to her as a 9th grader. You may also want to ask about Dual Enrollment (where HS students take courses in their HS for college credit, or attend a local college to take college classes which count towards HS graduation).
MODERATOR’S NOTE: This thread is going around in circles. Closing.
