UWC after a french baccalaureate ?

<p>First of all - sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this.</p>

<p>I'm having a huge dilemma right now : I'm a rising senior (terminale) at a french school, and when I started my college apps process, the EducationUSA couselor encouraged me to apply to a UWC, because I was expressing concerns about college life (I'm barely fifteen, and fairly sheltered).</p>

<p>The UWC experience looks awesome, but I don't really think that it would be worth 'repeating' two years. The major selling point for that is the 'experience', and the Davis Scholarship... Academically, though, the french system is already so demanding, having an IB seems sort of useless...
What do you think ?</p>

<p>I hope you haven't been bored to death by my babbling, and thanks in advance !</p>
