Which Highschool?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University
1

<p>Two options:</p>

<ol>
<li>An arts school...good academics...no AP or IB, so I would take online AP courses through Laurel Springs [six of them, good sports teams</li>
<li>A public school that offers IB, good academics, good sports teams</li>
</ol>

<p>The thing is, I've heard many horror stories about how horrendously difficult IB is....and I am confident that I would have a much higher GPA at the first school. </p>

<p>FYI...I'm a good student, well rounded...[not your stereotypical nerd]</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Maybe you can consult one of these eerily similar threads for an answer ;)</p>

<p>I say number 2 because if you are trying to get into Harvard they want you to challenge yourself not just have a good GPA by taking easy classes</p>

</p>

<p>Why would a school take someone who chose to take all easy classes over another who wanted to challenge himself with the most difficult courses and succeeded all the same? </p>

<p>Also, I think this topic may more appropriate for the general college admissions forum on CC.</p>
