<p>Hey, </p>

<p>IB in my country is pretty expensive and my parents really had to sell their skins so that i could study it.. just so that i could get admitted in a good college.. am wondering now if it was really worth it...am top of the class btw..</p>

<p>how many of you have IB? Diploma or just some courses?</p>

<p>also IB diploma here.
i think IB is a more holistic approach to education than AP is.. and i suspect the admission board over at wellesley are aware of this. i couldn't find anything on the website other than this:
"...the International Baccalaureate diploma is highly respected and also may result in credit." Prospective</a> FAQs</p>

<p>but i wouldn't say the ib diploma is a sure-fire way to grant you admission to a "good" college (although it shows you are taking the most rigorous course load, etc etc) (definition of a "good" college varies). i would suggest appealing to your school to cover for some of the testing fees..? at my school if you qualify you can get the school to pay for most of the cost. =/</p>
