[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two of my kids did IB Diploma - one got a full ride and the second got a full tuition. It's a nice program if your kid can keep up. [/quote] A friend's child did it and then went to Stanford. In FCPS, it's a nice path for the kids coming out of the competitive AAP MS Centers. The problem is parents whose kids can't keep up or don't want to. When the counter argument boils down to, it's too stressful/too hard for American kids, that's just sad. Some kids want or need the challenge. And as has been shown in these threads at length, acceptance rates at highly selective colleges are higher for IB diploma candidates than for AP candidates. If your kid doesn't want that, fine. But lots of kids do. And lots of IB diploma kids are going Ivy, or highly selective with significant merit aid. [/quote]
