<p>Now many good schools in India have started offering IB. Which one is actually better for students wanting to go to the US - CBSE or IB and why?</p>
<p>IB 10 char</p>
<p>IB. It's internationally-recognised.</p>
<p>But does IB realy give a student an edge in elite college admissions? Is it better to take IB+few ECs or CBSE+many ECs+more depth in ECs?</p>
<p>The options I have are to either be at my current school and do CBSE or to go to a boarding school and do IB. But if I do the second, my ECAs will become limited. Also, the IB schools which I am looking at do not have any leadership positions offered and it is not easy to start a club there. I am looking at the top Universities in the US - HYPS, MIT and other similar ones. My current school (the CBSE one) sends 2-5 students every year from 80 to these schools. My teachers there think that I stand a good chance at these.</p>
<p>So, in short, is it better to do CBSE and some ECAs in depth and have leadership positions or to do IB and have less time for ECA and no leadership positions.</p>
