[b]The value it highly in terms of admissions. Often the kids that get in from our HS are the full IB students.[/b]

Our IB director said that there are many schools that don't hand out the credit for IB classes like they do for AP -- that's a real problem if you want to/need to graduate early. But if you are on the 4 year plan anyway, why not retake the Calc class, etc and have an easier time of it in college rather than advancing through to the next course right away.[/quote]

If your school offers the IB Diploma, completing that is the "most rigorous" program offered at the school and for highly selective colleges that want you to take the most rigorous program, not taking it would count against you. [/quote]

No. If you are taking 10+ AP and scoring 5s on each, they know you can handle rigor.[/quote]
