Does taking IB help me get into UC San Diego, or should I just not do the program, but instead, take a mixture of APs and IBs? RIght now, I am planning on taking IB Math HL, IB Physics HL, IB HOTA HL, IB French SL, IB Business SL, and IB Literature (English) HL. Junior year I will also be taking AP comp sci principles and in senior year I probably will take AP Microeconomics. An alternative could be switching IB Physics HL for Ap physics junior year and AP chem senior year, then switching IB HOTA HL for APUSH and AP Gov. What do you guys think? Should I stick with the IB diploma or should I take a mixture instead?
UCSD wants to see good HS rigor so IB and/or AP is fine. One is not better than the other.
Thanks!
