[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is in 8th grade. She wants to go to the IB program at RM. [b]She enjoys english and history class but doesn't like math[/b]. She also really enjoys her foreign language and she skipped level 2 of the language. Her spring map r was a 262 and her fall was 253 (don't know what happened there). Her extracurriculars are okay (should have pushed her more lol). However, I have heard that this program is very stressful and has a lot of work. It is also very hard to get in. Do you think it is a good fit for her and what are her chances of gettting in? (I'm hoping for at least 70%). [/quote]

IB kids take high level math. it's not a STEM program but that doesn't mean IB is weak on STEM subjects. [i]My kids (and many of their friends) took AP Cal BC in their junior years followed by high level IB math in senior year[/i][/quote]

[b]How did they do that?[/b] The IB math classes are two-year classes.

[i]Mathematics: applications and interpretation SL
Mathematics: applications and interpretation HL
Mathematics: analysis and approaches SL
Mathematics: analysis and approaches HL[/i]

How did they do that? By attending RMIB? But that wasn't my point. My point is RMIB has strong STEM courses required/offered and many kids end up in engineering field.[/quote]
