[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 it exactly. To get into a top tier college you must take the hardest courses and still out-perform your peers. Makes sense, competitive colleges require that ability to succeed.[/quote]
