Yale vs. Parsons school of design & another question

<p>I have two questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>My sister was wondering which institution would provide her the best learning experience if she was to study art, particularly modern art, in her future years. She loves New York (where Parsons is located) but she is aware that Yale is renowned for its artistic curriculum. Any comments to this?</p></li>
<li><p>How important are AP tests/scores for transfer students? (Ex. Freshman looking to transfer, would it be beneficial for him to take additional AP Tests?)</p></li>
</ol>
