CCP, AP, IB, Honors — What’s Best for YOU?
Selective or highly selective admission colleges want students who have exhausted their high school college preparatory curriculum.
If you are considering an Ohio public college, then AP, IB or CCP are good fits for you. HOWEVER, you will want to
determine which is best for you and your learning needs.
If you are considering a college outside of Ohio, AP or IB might be better options than CCP because they have more of a national reputation.
