@JohnHaba I don’t think its any breakthrough that students who score high on AP generally have more success than those who don’t score high on AP. You can say that with just about any tests. It is also true that people who go to more competitive HS’s will have an easier transition to college than those who don’t, but should colleges simply stop admitting kids because they weren’t financially well off enough to do AP, but did everything they could do make them an amazing application? There are pretty clear reasons as to why colleges can’t have AP tests as a must in their admissions.
@JustGraduate Agreed, I’m bias but IB > AP.
