[quote=Anonymous]I was in a full IB diploma program until I moved senior year. I think the strongest advantage of the diploma or a course load heavily weighted to IB classes is that it forces one to develop strong writing skills. The assessments are more open-ended and require application of the material; it’s not multiple choice regurgitation. It made undergraduate in a writing intensive major a breeze. Candidly, I was not challenged academically again until law school at a top law school. You do not need to slog through the extra steps required for the diploma to reap the benefits of the curriculum. You also do not want to start college burnt out. [/quote]
