<p>Which of you are going to be Full IB Diploma seniors next year and what courses are you doing? and what IA's have you finished.</p>
<p>Ill go first </p>
<p>Senior Year:
HL English
HL Math
Hl Econ
SL French
SL Biology
SL Chem</p>
<p>IAs Completed:
2 World Lits
Group 4 Project
1 of 4 Econ Commentaries
Ton of Labs (Bio+Chem)</p>
<p>by the way i go to an international school, where they only send the predicted scores (no transcripts) to colleges, mainly UK, but since im applying to the us do any of your schools do this?</p>
<p>Also do some of you guys do AP's aswell? I have to do two, Calc and Microecon</p>
<p>I'm an IB Junior, but my senior courload will look something like this:</p>
<p>HL English
HL Biology
HL World History
HL Math
SL Japanese
TOK (???)</p>
<p>Do most IB schools have full time TOK classes? It seems like a waste of time to me.</p>
<p>My school has full time TOK for a year, but its really fun, the teacher is great.
I'm a junior but
HL English
HL US Hist
HL Design Tech
SL Spanish
SL Mathematics
SL Psych</p>
<p>Next year
All the HLs plus
AP Calc
AP Bio</p>
<p>I'm actually a Junior, but whatever. Your schools seem to do IB much differently than mine - our is more integrated with AP I guess. Here's my sched:</p>
<p>TOK
Chem 1IB
Hist Americas H/IB
Psych AP
English 11 H/IB
Spanish 5 AP/IB
Physics 2 AP/IB
Calc BC AP/IB</p>
<p>Next Year:
English 12 H/IB
20th C Hist / American Gov H/IB
Bio 2 H/IB
Chem 2 H/IB
Psych H/IB
Calc 3 / Differential Equations AP/IB
Spanish 6 AP/IB</p>
<p>Senior courseload next year:
English HL
History HL
Math HL
Biology HL
Business SL
Spanish SL
[non-IB elective]
TOK for 3 hours after school every Thursday (we don't do TOK this year).</p>
<p>[I'm doing Chem SL this year]</p>
<p>I've only done Group 4 for SL Chem (have to do another one for HL Bio next year =/) this year, and a bunch of labs. Also did the first half of the History IA and the English IOP, and will be tying up World Lit papers and Math IA in the summer.</p>
<p>My school doesn't do any APs (it's a public school). They also don't send predicted grades to colleges - we have course grades that consist of tests/quizzes, labs, homework and some other completion points that are sent in. These grades are significantly higher than what my predicted grades will be XD</p>
<p>^ huh, strange, its interesting to see how different our school does things. anyway. hopefully the list will grow longer soon, i cant believe that these are the only IBers on CC. </p>
<p>BTW Brown and Columbia visited my school today, they said they require a 40 minimum out of 42 to be competitive. I only have a 37, (40/45) so im out of luck.</p>
<p>what i dont get is that cambridge, lse, oxford, of which I mean no offense I believe are in many aspects are superior to the columbia/brown (Columbia and Brown are incredible, but i dont think they compete), give admissions to 36/45 or 38/45, not like 43</p>
<p>Huh. My school doesn't send predicted scores and we get our actual scores after we've been admitted to college. Basically the colleges I apply to will only know I'm an IB diploma candidate, and I don't think I even have to send my scores later, just verify that I got the diploma. That sounds sketch but it worked out for this year's seniors well - they got into great colleges.</p>
<p>Our school stamps "IB DIPLOMA CANDIDATE" in bright red across our transcripts and includes a sheet that makes IB sound like a much greater deal than it really is when they send in recommendations and stuff, and apparently the colleges have been eating it all up. The seniors get into nice schools, many of which don't ask for/don't care about their final diploma score, just the course grades (which is padded by small quizzes and homework grades and are thus generally high). Harvard visited our school a while back and they didn't give us a point value, just said something like "take hard courses (i.e. Diploma at our school) and get good grades" (course grades, not IB scores). Brown/Columbia might have said "minimum" 40/42 because of the international school thing (intls have a harder time getting in) or because the rep didn't really understand IB and really wanted to say something along the lines of "get mostly As", because even Oxbridge only asks for 38-40/~766 at HL.</p>
<p>oxbridge asks for 36-38, very rarely 40 and most of the time its 667</p>
