[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I seriously doubt Holton kids can survive RMIB program. It is incredibly hard. [/quote]

I am an IB diploma graduate. I don't understand why kids with an average 1400 SAT couldn't handle an IB program easily. Is there something extra hard about IB at RM?[/quote]

Lol yes. Can you imagine taking all of your IB diploma tests and taking relevant classes for/self studying on the side for 12+ APs and a normal, intensive extracurricular schedule? Because that was the norm in the IB program. I slept way more in college than I did during IB.  I didn’t appreciate enough until I went to HYP how brilliant my RMIB classmates were. [/quote]
+1 I don't know about other IB programs, but most of the RMIB students self study for some of the AP exams.  And of course, they all have lots of outside activities.  These are super high achieving kids, and the program is not for the faint of heart.  I know a few RMIB students who dropped out because of the time demand in order for them to get an A in the class.[/quote]

This is very true. If your child wants sleep and happiness it's not going to be easy to find at RMIB. I think it's a great program and older DC went through it but if we had had money for private we would have done it. The friends who went to privates ended up doing the same in college admissions but I think they had a more rounded high school experience.[/quote]
