IB or PSEO

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I am currently a sophomore and my current schedule is French 2, AP World History, Honors English, IB Math SL Yr. 1 Acc., Chemistry, and Advanced Band. Ever since last year, I've really been thinking about doing the IB Program, but a lot of people have told me that it's not worth it. One of them said that you have to be within the top 2 places to be able to handle the diploma. A lot of them said that they wished they did PSEO instead of taking IB or they're currently doing PSEO. I'm pretty curious about PSEO, too. This past year, only 3 people got the diploma. My school became an IB school in 2009, so our first IB graduating class was in 2012. By the time I'd graduate (2016), it would be our 5th IB graduating class.</p>

<p>I'm thinking of talking to my counselor about this, but I also want to know what more high schoolers here think? Which program did you guys do or prefer? Do you think your choice was worth it?</p>

<p>(For those who don’t know, PSEO is just dual enrollment.)</p>

<p>AP or IB is generally considered better than dual enrollment because it’s more standardized, unless you’re taking classes above the level of AP/IB or that AP/IB don’t offer. Doing PSEO would be fine, but don’t just take random easy classes.</p>
