You must be surely joking! Let me explain to you what I mean by IB program is buyer beware.

Compare the course catalog at RMIB with the one at SV:

SV doesn’t even offer a single IB HL class in math, there’s one HL class in science for biology! RMIB has a bunch of APs plus multivariable calculus in addition to both SL and HL for Approaches and Analysis.

It’s true that to some degree you compete with students in your school, but only up to a point, if you go to a crappy program you absolute make a bad decision for your education and college chances.

Hooray!!!

Ikr?

--Kennedy parent with a kid in IB, taking SL Math even though the school also offers HL.

They offer according to need. Just like the colleges that dude's kids might get into if they're lucky. RMIB isn't offering Italian HL, either, but he's not outraged about that.

My middling IB student (hardly even near the top of their class) has six colleges acceptances from schools ranked in the 40s-100. Every school they applied to. We didn't aim higher because we wanted merit--and, much like Kennedy itself--a less cutthroat atmosphere. [/quote]
