FRIDAY | APRIL 18, 2008 Senior Forum Editor / Jill Strominger / [email protected] STUDENT LIFE | FORUM 5 AP credits should not count toward registration BY SARA REMEDIOS STAFF COLUMNIST

was an International Bac- calaureate (IB) student in high school, meaning that Iinstead of taking Advanced Placement (AP) classes I was part of the IB Program and graduated with an advanced degree recognized, it seems, everywhere but at Washington University. In theory, my IB diploma means that I came to college better prepared for the rigors of a university than the average AP student. This is because IB is a “program” rather than a set of courses, with curricular requirements, interdisciplinary projects and in-depth research and analysis papers in every class. The program is expected to be of the length and caliber required for college courses and graded by esteemed IB faculty in Switzerland. In practice, my IB diploma means that every semester, without fail, when it comes time to register for courses I am completely and totally screwed. Even now, as a rising senior, I was given a registra- tion time a full day later than most of my classmates, and consequently have been wait- listed to not one but three of my fi rst choices, all three in my major. Why? Because Washington University’s College of Arts & Sciences awards up to 15 units of credit for AP exams, which puts AP students a full semester ahead of their class in terms of standing. This, in turn, allows those students to register for courses a full day ahead of the rest of their class for their entire tenure at Wash. U. By comparison, for IB exams, Washington University awards credit only for IB chemistry, and only for a perfect score on that exam. Having taken IB chemistry, and having done very well at it, I can tell you authoritatively that a perfect score in IB chemistry requires RACHEL YOON | STUDENT LIFE mastering half a semester’s course and even now, at my last satisfy to fi nish my English they are culturally biased and taking AP courses in a school If a student wishes to ap- worth of organic chemistry in chance, am number 20 on the major. they aren’t even offered in all where IB was offered would ply for a more senior status two weeks of high school class. wait list.
