<p>I would definitely do the IB diploma, if offered. When a school looks at the transcript and info from the school, the counselor should be mentioning if the student is doing the IB diploma or IB certificate. Many schools want to see that kids challenge themselves in high school. My son will be finishing his senior year next month in the IB diploma. The EE wasn’t so bad. He really disliked TOK, but he really was challenged in everything, and no, it wasn’t as time consuming as everyone claimed.</p>
