[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is currently a sophomore at wl and I do not think freshman year was bad in term if workload.  There is a wide variety for workload between teachers though, so it is possible that you will draw a short straw and end up with very rigorous teachers.  There is one ap class that is encouraged if you are pre-ib, otherwise they encourage all intensified classes.  Intensified classes do not have a gpa bump, only ap and ib classrs do.  I think that by junior year if you do full ib it is very intense.
College options from Gonzaga vs wl are very different.  Most of my daughter’s friends (pre-ib and very driven) are aiming for state schools.  When I was in highschool (went to Gonzaga), most of my friends were aiming top 20 college if not Ivy League.  Just different trajectories.  [/quote]
A lot has changed in college admissions since you were in high school.  I'd bet that Gonzaga and IB students at WL are applying to the same colleges.  I think the biggest difference is likely that Gonzaga students are more likely to be full pay than those from a public school.[/quote]
