<p>This is 2009, not 1989. the world has changed.In today’s educational environment, where AP and IB are so widespread, someone, in my view, who is seeking admission to a top graduate or law school almost looks as if they are in the slow group if they are unfortunate enough to have not accumulated sufficient IB and AP credit(maybe supplemented by two or three summer classes)to graduate in 3 years. Or perhpas they are tuition suckers who choose to attend AP disrespecting liberal arts colleges, or rich slackers who just want to hange around college for an extra year and to whon $50K or $60K is nothing. I don’t speak with any authoratitve or first hand kinowledge but if I was running a law school I would prefer accomplished 3 year graduates over the slow group, tuition suckers or rich slackers.</p>
