AP or IB or Both

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hi! I'm a freshman and deciding my classes for next year. I know that this question has been asked a lot but hopefully you'll hear me out. So my high school has both AP and IB (obviously). I keep hearing about how IB is more rigorous and thus more "better", a lot of top students are doing this route. All the top students in my grade are going to either take a mix of IB and AP or doing the full diploma. And I mean ALL of them. This is because my school is providing an accelerated option to take AP Language but the catch is that you have to take IB English and IB History your junior and senior year. I don't know if i should take it or not. The problem is that I don't know if my counselor will check the most rigorous box on the common application if i don't take it. Also, i will be taking AP Chemistry, AP Euro, and AP Psych so i don't want to kill myself. So should I take AP Lang? Should I then do a mix of IB and AP? Should I just stick with AP? Or should I do the IB Diploma?</p>

<p>Thanks :) </p>

You realize that is grammatically incorrect, right?

I’d suggest you ask your counselor.</p>

<p>First of all thanks for replying, and yes i do know that is incorrect now that i have read my little description over again. Haha, i should check from now on. Also, I already did. He went around my question and it didn’t get answered.</p>
