<p>I will offer an alternative here… you can do the entire EE in one weekend (depending on your topic). It will probably not be amazing and you will not max the points, but you can check the box for doing the paper.</p>
<p>That is basically what I did, and I got 0 or 1 points on it… don’t remember.</p>
<p>Also, most top schools give a lot more credits for AP than IB it seems. If you drop down a bit, you can get sophomore status at a bunch of schools for the IB diploma.</p>
