U-Va. cheats IB students

Although IB and AP both add electrifying challenges to our usually limp high school course catalogues, IB is somewhat better because of its writing requirement and deeper exams, with no multiple choice questions. Yet students at U-Va. and elsewhere are finding that our finest colleges are dumb and deceptive about IB. They openly discriminate against IB students like Robertson, with no data supporting their rules and no interest in changing them.
