[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take the IB classes to get the college credits, grades and overall rigor matter more than the actual IB diploma. This also allows him to skip TOK, CAS, and the extended essay if he wants. Make up for it with an extra HL class or two.[/quote] This. Not having the certificate won’t make him any less competitive. He should focus on the classes and grades to be competitive. [/quote] It does make them less competitive from what I’ve seen in our high schools. Of course, nothing is set in stone and a lot depends on individual circumstances but schools typically like IB Diploma candidate students. That is students who have done the full IB program and are attempting to get the diploma. The program doesn’t start until 11th grade but you have to have taken the right courses earlier to be on track for the IB program. This usually impacts kids with their language and math classes.
