IB diploma vs AP classes

<p>I'm going for the IB diploma right now, but I'm wondering if this is truly worth taking. I'm taking all the AP classes possible in my school at this moment because of the IB diploma, but I was wondering if the extra stuff like the extended essay, IB tests and other junk really worth it. Does it help with your college aps or is it just the experience you get from doing IB?</p>
