Switching for IB?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I currently go to a school which does not offer the IB curriculum, though they offer various courses as AP (such as math 9 10, science 9 10, english all 4 years) but that's it.</p>

<p>I have the opportunity to go to a school which has the IB curriculum so I would enter in grade 11 so I could get the certificate.</p>

<p>My current school ranking is higher (has a better academic reputation) than the school that offers IB. </p>

<p>Will universities value IB much higher than AP? (I want to apply to extremely competitive universities)
What should I do?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You can’t go wrong either way</p>

<p>Universities value the hardest possible curriculum at the school that you attend. If you want to switch to another school to obtain the IB Diploma (what I assume you meant when you wrote “certificate”), then only do so if you actually see merit in the IB program and are interested in taking IB classes. </p>

<p>Stay at your school. Colleges compare you to people at your own school so you shouldn’t move to a lower-ranked school for the I.B. program. </p>
