[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WL IB does not accept anyone that wants to take it. You have to be accepted into the program. Quite a large percentage of students in 11/12 take partial IB. They take IB in 4 or so classes and then take AP classes or Dual Enrollment classes to fill out their schedule. Not to burst your bubble, but an all A student at W-L is quite common. [/quote]

[b]If you are in zone for W-L, you can enroll in the IB diploma program by right.[/b] DC is a senior in the program now. It is crazy crazy intense, but the college admission bump is out of this world. Not sure it was worth it in retrospect, but DC has gotten incredible college admissions results so far.[/quote]

Not exactly. You don't have to apply for "Pre IB" in 9th-10th but do have to meet the pre-reqs to be in the diploma program even if it's your home school

Prerequisites for the IB Diploma Program
Algebra II (preferably intensified) or greater in 10th grade.  Less than Intensified Algebra II will greatly limit potential IB Diploma Program scheduling options.
Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese or Latin IV in 10th grade
A’s and B’s in all subjects (7th-10th grade)[/quote]

Interesting.  I see this on W-L's IB page.  Not that many FCPS students complete a fourth year of a foreign language by 10th grade, and the IB schools there don't suggest it is a pre-requisite.  W-L seems to like promoting its IB diploma program as a "school within a school."  [/quote]
