IB Diploma Worth It?

Hi guys, I just have a general question. So I’m an IB Diploma Candidate (c/o 2023) and I’m a foreigner to the program. Most of my friends do AP and they don’t even know what IB is. I was just wondering if IB adds the same value to an individual seeking college admission as AP.

The full IB Diploma is about as rigorous a schedule as you can have.

An IB course vs. an AP course is viewed comparably, IMO. What percentage increase an IB Diploma holds vs. several IB/AP courses on their own is a question nobody here will be able to answer. But for colleges with holistic admissions, rigor of schedule is but one part of the application package. Good luck.
