<p>Isn't it safe to say that it's probably a given because more people reside in the east and west coast vs the Midwest, which population is decreasing? Kind of a no brainer IMO!</p>

<p>yes but isnt east/west coast people more college oriented? i mean all the best colleges are pretty much in the east/west coast with the exception of rice and u of c. i am not trying to diss anyone here.</p>
<p>The east and west coasts are more top-college-oriented. In the Midwest, the smart students all get full rides to attend state schools or lower-ranked liberal arts colleges.</p>
<p>"Susie got a full ride to Indiana Wesleyan" is considered more admirable than "Bobby was accepted at Dartmouth as an Econ major."</p>
<p>This site is also more SAT-oriented, while the Midwest is not. I live in Ohio, and I've had to explain to too many people what the SAT test is. But the minute I say I took the ACT, everyone knows what it is, and they're familiar with the scoring. On CC, it's just expected that everyone takes the SAT, and the ACT is a side note. Therefore, people searching for something like "SAT Prep" on Google are more likely to run into CC than people searching for "ACT Prep."</p>
<p>Does that make sense?</p>
<p>Yeah, my girlfriend moved here to Florida from the midwest and had never even heard of the SAT. She also mentioned that her school's honors courses were the most difficult classes offered, and she found them largely on par with AP classes here. Not sure if it's typical for the midwest to not really adopt AP like that or if it was just in her county.</p>
<p>The larger Midwestern schools do have AP classes, but usually, there are fewer offered. At most of the schools in my area, somewhere between three and five AP courses are offered. Some, like my school, have none. Remember that most of the Midwestern schools are smaller in general. Outside the inner city schools, it's rare to have a class of over 500 students. Even in the suburbs, the schools are generally divided into districts with fewer people than what you'd find on the coasts. So naturally, the schools won't offer as many courses. AP Latin Virgil is generally not offered at most schools in the Midwest, while many students here on CC take the course.</p>
<p>Ah, that's very interesting. My school, which isn't at all strong by CC standards, has 180 in the graduating class and offers about 12 AP courses total, though not every course every year. Other schools here are slightly larger with more AP courses. Would a school of this size in the midwest be likely at all to have AP courses?</p>
<p>A school that size in my area would have maybe 6-8 AP courses. The most common ones are Chemistry, Literature & Composition, US History, and Calculus AB. I think a few schools might have AP Government too. My school only has about 50 students per class, so AP courses aren't really possible. There would be about three people in each course, and that would be a waste of resources.</p>
<p>By the way, IB is totally absent from most schools in the Midwest. I don't know of any schools around here that offer IB.</p>
