Which colleges did you visit? I have had similar experiences. However at JH the admissions person, when asked which is considered by admissions as most rigorous at a school that offers both, said to me "there are very few schools that offer both and they (the JH adcoms) know those schools." Actually, in Florida, there are many schools that offer both. While he did say, that where both are offered they view IB as the most rigorous, I was concerned about the lack of awareness of the many schools that offer both AP and IB. This fact clearly shows on the IB student's transcript since the IB kids (at schools that offer both) all have taken many AP courses and AP course are even used in the IB sequence during non-testing years.
