[quote=Anonymous]The IB diploma route is definitely a plus and because of the emphasis on writing should be a major help in college. But my anecdotal sense from this year's admissions is that rigor is what is most important, so if in IB, it is important to take the toughest courses, just doing IB will not be enough, and for many kids AP would be a better route. My child got regular letter grades in IB but they are just finishing the IB tests necessary for a diploma, and they actually will not get those scores until late in the summer so they play no factor in college admissions whereas many Juniors will have taken a number of AP exams that they can report as part of their college application.
