It is second semester in senior year of high school. I got a C first semester in IB/Honors English 12 and want to switch out and into a regular English class.I am not doing the IB Diploma. Should I do it? If I did, would it affect my college admissions negatively? I have called University of California San Diego,UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz Academic advisors and admission officers and all of them have said that it would not with the exception of UC Irvine saying they do not know unless they look at my application and said something about it could be a good or bad choice and UC Santa Cruz saying it would but would also depend on your application and a good reason. Is a good reason extracurriculars and not needing IB ok?PLEASE HELP! It is my last day to change!
It would affect your college admissions negatively if you switch to a lower class. Since the colleges won’t see the S2 grade before you are accepted, I’d say just stick with it.
Do you think if I had a reason like extracurriculars and not needing IB would still affect me? IB doesn’t help me get better at writing and I want to self study for the AP exam and get better at writing on my own. I also am learning from a free online course from MIT for Electrical Engineering.
