[quote=Anonymous]I'm under the impression that very few DCI parents earned an ib diploma, or even took any subject tests. They're generally not the kind of parents who graduated from international schools abroad or attended private of public schools offering the diploma in this country in the 80s and 90s. The number of US diploma programs is now triple what is was when most of these parents were in high school. DCI parents learn the basics about earning the diploma, mostly from admins, but don't have a good feel for what sort of preparation goes into scoring in the 30s, or the value of scoring high (e.g. average points total for successful out of state applicants at UC Berkeley is around 38). They also don't tend to know that it's common for American diploma students to double up on AP exams offered in ib subjects, so applicants have a bunch of subject exams scores to submit when applying to colleges. If you're shooting for IB diploma at DCI as an umc family, I'd do my own research. I'd also talk to other parents and people in their 20s and 30s who earned the diploma. Relying on DCI admins to tell you about diploma studies isn't going to be nearly enough.[/quote]
