[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s common for advanced students in math to forgo the IB diploma and take dual enrollment math classes instead. Anecdotally, it doesn’t seem to have an adverse impact. [/quote]

Agreed, my son does not find IB HL Analysis difficult compared to AP Calc BC[/quote]

Advanced courses past Math HL are not going to help that much for admissions, but are better that doing the diploma.

Does anyone know if post IB classes get college credit? RMIB has a class called IB Multivariable Calculus, and I’m wondering if it’s worth taking it vs going to community college for dual enrollment.[/quote]
My kid did RMIB a few years ago.  Took IB HL math, AP BC calc, and MVC.  Teacher is awesome. DC is a math major and said Goetz is the best math teacher they ever had.

I am asking specifically if the RMIB multivariable calculus (MVC) class gets any college credit.

Depends on the school. Most elite schools don’t give IB credit, but it would inform placement.[/quote]

Of course, but I’m asking in state for UMD. They do accept MCCC classes, and I’m wondering if IB MVC is considered dual enrollment.[/quote]
UMD will accept if the student passes the UMD MVC exam, which my kid did.   MVC is really not an IB class, though for some reason, they have it tagged that way.[/quote]
