well. my school only offers IB, but i think that domestic colleges are equally aware of the two programs.
i'm a little confused though. some IB courses aren't exactly "rigorous." i don't know about AP, but IB-SL Math Studies is absolutely ridiculous. it's easier than algebra II -.-
also, as the above poster said, IB age limits suck. i am currently taking IB-SL math studies as a freshman, and because i'm not yet 16, i'm not allowed to take (and gain credit for) the end-of-year exam. but whatever.

AP is the only option for students who want to do 3 years of high school and then go on to college. It only takes enrolling in a summer English course to fulfill the 4-year English graduation requirement in 3 years. Obviously, unless an IB programme allowed 10th graders to be enrolled, this would be impossible.

okay i see where you're coming from, but most relatively urban HS's these days offer some kind of dual-enrollment, so graduating (or at least taking a full college schedule) early is pretty much available to anyone--IB or AP.
