[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB parent here. Yes, it makes a difference in college acceptances. I have friends whose kids took IB courses and were great students, but they were not IB Diploma candidates, and it hurt them in the college application process. If your school offers the diploma, admission officers may dock your student for not pursuing the most rigorous program at the school. The only time it might be okay is if you have a special interest or class. I know the IB math track messes up some student schedules. And students in the band or chorus sometimes have issues. Just found this video that basically says the same thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XiosPO4uP4[/quote] (I should add that our HS only offers one AP course, so it may be different if your school has both options.)[/quote]
