<p>"is anyone else pursuing the IB Diploma?""
yeah i am. :-)
where is everyone thinking of applying?</p>
<p>I'm gonna be the typical CCer and apply to the top schools. lol. Hopefully I can survive during the SATs. Does anyone else think that the SAT is insanely hard?? lol</p>
<p>^me too. i will apply to a mix of schools (the usual: matches, reaches, safeties) but at this point i have about 40 schools on my college list and i really need to narrow it down to no more than 10.</p>
<p>yeah i found it REALLY hard. i tried it after not doing math for a year,, and not studying, and got a 1540... i'm screwed.
but yeah.im applying to stanford, harvard, columbia, NYU, USC, UC system.then safties.</p>
<p>What's really is an IB Diploma?</p>
<p>I know what it stands for but what is it?</p>
<p>Who can do it?</p>
<p>IB Diploma is this international basis for education. They want you to take the most rigorous courses to obtain it. such as getting a high math level, foreign language, english, literature, science. it shows your legit. in fact, you're too legit to quit.</p>
<p>i'm going to apply to all the top schools, and then Uof Rochester and U at Buffalo</p>
<p>what's everyone's GPA? UW. so i know what i'm up against.</p>
<p>unweighted it's 3.89 or something and weighted it's around 4.9</p>
<p>mine right now is around UW 3.92 and W 4.11</p>
<p>ah no. mine is like 3.71ish UW. that's not good.</p>
<p>UW is something like 3.6-3.7, but my school's tough.</p>
<p>I'm not a typical CCer when it comes to selecting colleges. I'm much more an LAC type of girl; the only Ivy on my list will be Brown.</p>
<p>i'm so happy to finally be a junior, but just thinking about the SAT, which is months away, makes me nervous</p>
<p>uw is 3.97 (one b!) and i'm not so sure what it is weighted.</p>
<p>This is going to be the most difficult year so far, but I'm going to finally apply some real effort. So far, I've been getting along decently well with little effort. This year changes all that, though. Time to really start getting busy. I've been sitting on my ass at home too long. :)</p>
<p>Junior year!! Wow, this is the big one. High school is almost over. Scary.</p>
<p>^ Yeah I've been getting by with little effort as well, but next year I'm going to go above and beyond; give it my all, for the first time in my life.</p>
<p>high school is only halfway over</p>
<p>I want to school to start already! grrrr</p>
<p>^ I'm kinda bored right now, but not that bored. I think instead of having such a long summer, I'd like to have 3 day weekends every so often during the school year. That would help me a ton.</p>
<p>I have thought about the exact same thing! I think we should have one week breaks every month instead of 2 months off in the summer.</p>
