Hey, I’m a grade 9 student and I attend a private school. i wanted to ask if I should take AP or IB classes at a public school to get into the ivy league or any other top-tier university. My school is in the top 5 out of 637 schools in my province by fraser institute. These 637 schools include public and private schools. thanks
The Ivies and other top schools will expect you to take the most rigorous curriculum that your school offers. If they offer AP/IB courses and you choose not to take them that will make admission unlikely. And as I am sure you know admission to the Ivies requires a lot more than GPA. Even perfect statted applicants from top high schools are routinely denied admission.
