<p>Does Harvard prefer IB students over AP students?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Very, very few students are in locations where they get to make a choice between the two programs. Harvard doesn’t penalize you for living in a county where the advanced students do IB rather than AP, or vice versa.</p>
<p>Do you think that the IB is a better program?</p>
<p>No. In theory it sounds like it’s better prep for college writing, but my friends on it don’t seem more prepared than the AP students. I don’t think it’s worse, either. I just haven’t seen anything that’s convinced me one is better overall.</p>
<p>go AP!!!</p>
