[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not that MIT doesn’t want them, it’s they are not a great fit. IB is more centered on humanities. If math and science are done at HL level in IB, that’s still only two stem classes. MIT applicants take AP calculus and statistics and often math dual enrollment classes, plus 3-4 AP science classes. Meanwhile IB students take Theory of knowledge, CAS stuff, and classes that don’t move the needle much at MIT: foreign language, art, social sciences etc. It’s hard to be competitive from IBDP when AP students take 8-10 stem exams alone, and get their results early to add to the application. Probably the same for Caltech or other competitive stem colleges. [/quote] MIT does not give credit for a lot of AP exams. IBDP students are very competitive because they take the most rigorous classes provided in the school.[/quote]
