<p>Actually T26E4, she understands who the class of '12 refers to and is directing her question at those who are in ivy league schools, not those who are hoping to get in. Asking advice from successful people sounds pretty smart to me.</p>
<p>okay why are schools violating the IBO rules? for full IBDP you can’t take more than 4 Higher Levels and you can only take 6 subjects besides Theory of Knowledge. my school is so strict with these rules:P</p>
<p>and IB World Lit is not a subject. World Lit is a comparative literature research paper you have to write for IB English A1. If you’re HL, you write two and SL writes one.</p>
<p>does predictions matter in admissions? is 43 for full IBDP sufficient? the Oxbridge minimum requirement is 38…</p>
<p>avtrox - Don’t know if above comment was in response to mine (and, yes, realize that thread is dead, but I’ll respond to above). Our school offers IB and AP. Some classes overlap so students cover all mandated IB curriculum and information needed for AP in that subject which is often different. If a student is “ahead” in math, science or language as a sophomore they may be taking IB courses with all the portfolios, oral presentations, papers etc. mandated by IB, although they are not taking the IB exam at the end to receive credit towards their diploma. D had IB Spanish 4 as a sophomore as well as IB pre-calc. The workload is the same with exception of the test.
I’m sorry about the semantics of having called IB English “World Lit” - that happens to be what the kids call it to differential from standard Junior English. OK kids take IB English 2 years and write “World Lit” papers . . . happy?</p>
<p>yes. 10chara</p>
<p>Hi I’m a sophomore about to be a junior, and I just wanted to know what you did to get into like Stanford, Cornell, Princeton, etc. My school is super competitive and I don’t know how to stand out!</p>
<p>^ National AP Scholar as a junior with a 4.0 UW and recruitable athletics usually does the trick.</p>
