[quote=Anonymous]I had two earn the IB diploma - not at Robinson but another FCPS high school.

Neither one took Physics.  Both did this science sequence: Honors Bio, IB Chem, IB Bio, IB Environmental Science.  They both were admitted RD to W&M and waitlisted to UVA.

DC1's IB elective was 2 years of IB Business (or something with a similar name.) It counted as the Econ Personal Finance class so he did not have to take that course.  DC2's elective was some IB Sports Health course.  I believe it actually was considered another science course.  He took Econ Personal Finance over the summer.  I'm pretty sure they both used their elective as one of their HL courses.  IB English was definitely HL and I think the history course was as well, but I didn't pay that much attention to which ones counted as HL vs SL.  My older one did TOK during the day his senior year.  They offered an after school option for those who were in band or chorus (or wanted another elective.). When my younger one went through, he ended up taking the 1st half of TOK junior year and the second half senior year - senior year it was after school even though he had time during the day so he ended up with a free period.

I'm a very hands off parent and they both did everything on their own in consultation with the IB coordinator and their counselor.
