[quote=Anonymous]I had this posted in the college discussion board but it was suggested I also post here to see get more readers from W&L.

DS is a rising senior at W&L and is enrolled in full IB. He currently has all As in all classes and is enrolled in 4 HL courses and 2 SL courses. Today, less than two weeks before undertaking the second part of all the IB courses he signed up for in year 10, we were told by his school counselor that he has to drop one of is HL courses half-way through and take a new SL instead so he can fit TOK into his schedule (TOK is required for the IB Diploma but from what I can gather only has an essay and a few presentations and DS has already written the essay.) So the question is, is he better off dropping TOK, and by extension the full IB Diploma, so he can keep the higher level courses or should he drop the extra HL and get the IB Diploma? Noting the transcript is going to show that he dropped a class half way through, which to me also looks like it would be perceived really badly by college admissions staff.[/quote]
