[quote=Anonymous]Doing the IB program is never going to disadvantage your student in admissions at super-elite colleges. Whether a student took the most difficult coursework available to them is an important factor at these schools (it is an actual box on the application review form at the HYPS that I am familiar with the admissions process of) and it is much more likely that a student will be eliminated from consideration because they didn't do an IB program when one was available. It may be, however, at the next tier down where schools are more worried about their "stats" for USNWS purposes and thus have less wiggle room. My guess would be that it actually evens out overall, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it could hurt you. TL;DR: It depends a bit just how competitive a student your DD is and where she is aiming. ~Top 50: Go IB. 50+: Do what's right for you.[/quote]
