So for post secondary education (University/College), I have a dream to be successful although I do not know what I want to do. The thing is, though, that I'm in high school and I have not done any AP or IB courses; my school does not offer them due to our size. I have, however, completed a few Honors courses - they were some fun stuff.
I know a lot of you ZDers have done your fair share of AP/IB courses and I want to ask, is it absolutely necessary to do those courses and exams in order to...
a) Make it in life
b) Be smart
c) Present yourself eloquently
d) Get college for cheaper
?
In addition to that, should we non-AP/IB students be ridiculed for not having those smarts?
