anyone taking IB diploma? Options

[LittleLulu]

about two months ago, i had an epiphany ( i know i spelled that wrong but w/e) about my education.

....MY SCHOOL ONLY OFFERS AP IN GRADE 12!!!!!!! how AWFUL** is that?!?

and the only things they have it in is Studio arts, and..english lit. Chem, Phys, and Bio, for the past few years have not opened class due to the lack of enrollment.

Hence i decided to transferr to a different highschool next year. Going for Richmond High because they offer IB ( International Baccalaureate), which is probably the best thing i can do if i want to go to University in the U.S. ( i live in Canada).

im feeling so depressed and scared..and just generally bummed out from all the research i've done on college admissions...

I don't have any idea what you're on about with the group thing, so moving on

I think you've got the wrong idea. IB diploma is for those who don't need pushes to stay on track.

The extended essay isn't anything like college app essays. No no no. You would never come even close to an essay like that without IB. TOK is a bit like psychology, but it's an extremely challanging class, regardless.

Certainly there's no doubt IB looks great on applications, but it's a matter of how well you can handle it. To be completely honest, I don't see how you could get by if you stuggle with English.

IB dimploma students have to take 1 course from each of the 6 groups
-Language A1
-Language B ( including some over 50 languages?)
-Individuals and Societies -( business and management, economics, geography, history, history of the americas, history of the islamic world, information technology in a global society, philosophy, psychology, and social anthropology)
-Experimental Sciences. ( bio, chem, phys, environmental science, design tech,)
-Mathematics ( mathematic applications, mathematic methods, mathematics)
-Arts and Electives ( visual arts, music, theatre arts)

plus TOK , CAS, and a 4000 word extended essay as part of the requirement.

you can substitute a course from the first 5 groups for the 6th one. get it?

the reason why i say IB is a good for giving me a push, is simply because i know for a fact that i have a tendency to get lazy at times, unless i'm required to do something i don't normally do it.

And lastly, excuse me, but i'm rather taken back by hearing that i "stuggle" with English. I'm also rather curious about your opinion, does a minor typing error count as struggling with English? 'Cause if so, then i could say the exact same thing for you, couldn't i?
