[quote=Anonymous]To the merits of the discussion, I don't think it's worth it for most kids. Unless your kid is good at EVERYTHING and can still manage to cultivate an interest that will make them unique enough to have a hook, IB is a waste of time and will land your kid in the exact same spot at Tech as she would have if she took AP classes. With a ton more stress. AP is more flexible. And for my kids, it allowed them to focus on areas of their strength and still have time to develop interests that were the hooks that got them into ivy league schools. So, no. You don't need to take the hardest everything. You do need to do well in whatever you take, take some challenging classes, rock the SAT, and GET A HOOK. Seriously. That is the most important thing if you want your kid to get into a elite school. [/quote]
