[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After looking at everything my understanding is following:

1) If your child is highly technical and interested in Engineering, Science and Math -
AP classes, Technical Magnet or Classes at MC would serve him/her better for the future.
However, IB students can be successful too in Science and Math and CS but that is not focus of the IB program.
IB program will make those student sweat, but there would be some gaps that would have to be filled in college.
Also really technical places (Technical Institutes, Engineering schools) do prefer APs (but would count some IB courses for liberal art subjects too.)

2)If your child is interested in liberal arts - go for IB if you can. It is perfect fit.

Also, use your own brain. Do not go with the flow.
Do not apply  to IB only because it is prestigious in MOCO. Do not make your child's life miserable.

My child is extremely capable. Can be accepted, however our family choice - do not apply.
This is not good fit for my child's interests, since child hates liberal arts and enjoys science.

gaps with IB?

From where did that misconception originate?
