[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doing full IB AND excelling in it is definitely an edge in college admissions. By excelling I mean getting a 41/45 or higher. You need a score above 40 to even begin to be competitive in top Ivies and SLACS. Doing the full IB and doing just okay in it is not going to help in college admissions any more than taking 6 AP classes your junior year and getting 3's on the AP exams would be. If your grades are mediocre, then they are mediocre. It doesn't matter if it's IB or AP. [/quote] This is true. If you get an IB diploma and do ok taking the easy route (like IB math studies), your college admissions are going to be very different than if you take the highest classes available and do well in those. All IB diploma candidates are not equal. [/quote] I get what you're saying, but you are overstating AP exam scores. Those are used for college placement, not in admissions. [/quote]
