[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a related note- what is the value of the diplomma itself? As I understand it, you don't know if you got it until college acceptances are in. It does get you credit for some courses, so that matters. But in terms of college acceptance process, isn't it really just about showing rigor of courseload and curriculum? [/quote] Here is another question: What is the opportunity cost of the IB diploma? The diploma itself doesn’t get you college credit. You can take AP tests whether or not you took an AP exam, but taking an AP tea vs the IB tests isn’t much difference in college credit. Many colleges limit how many credits you can have. They often only give you elective credit or even no credit at all—just entry at a higher course level. If you want college credit, the joint program with Montgomery college is the best option, since you graduate high school with an associate’s degree.[/quote]
