IB Diploma

Hey, quick question. I come from an IB School (that also offers a few) AP classes where most of the top students do the full IB diploma.

I’m not part of the IB diploma program, although I am taking quite a few IB courses and exams and have one of the most rigorous course loads. I’m also doing the requisite TOK class and extended essay—the only part I’m not doing is IB Mathematics (our school only offers SL and I wanted to do math independent study instead).

Would me opting not to do the IB diploma program look bad even though I still have a rigorous schedule?
