<p>I don't know whether I should join the IB program when I switch schools... I'm doing Chemistry so I'm a year ahead in science and I take the most advanced classes available for me.
Is IB preferred by more colleges? I know they are given "equaql weight" but University of Florida has a definite PRO-IB bias and I wondered if other schools did as well.</p>
<p>I am also planning on taking Calculus Junior Year or possibly next year -is IB or AP better for math?</p>
<p>You may want to check in the Parents forum as well, because most here will only have experience with one, where as there parents may have had on kid in IB and another take AP.</p>
<p>I’m working on my Extended Essay right now for IB. Trust me, DON’T DO IT! (: It’s not worth the trouble, I promise you. I live in Florida, and last year more kids from AP got into UF than our IB class of 2009. Seriously, SAVE YOURSELF!!</p>
<p>He would only have to do that if he was getting an IB degree right? If he’s just taking the one IB class then he doesn’t need to do it.</p>
<p>just look at the school you want to go to and look at how many IB deplomas they accept each year, if its a lot greater than the total acceptance rate, then do IB (the kids that didn’t do IB probably took a large amount of APs.</p>
<p>^might not be right but its my take</p>
<p>You can do IB and self study the APs anyways if you want to</p>
<p>look at this <a href=“http://phs.provo.edu/~lorir/IB/American%20Schools%20IB%20Acceptances.pdf[/url]”>http://phs.provo.edu/~lorir/IB/American%20Schools%20IB%20Acceptances.pdf</a></p>
