IB Diploma Program vs AP, A choice dilemma. International Baccalaureate. Options

[lesliewelcomesyo...]

I needed an updated thingy. . .

Ok, so I'm an Ib Junior. It's my 4th week into the program and I am having some serious doubts about it. Like, for example, I am not at all guaranteed to get the IB diploma. So, why would I want to waste two loong goddamn years of my life trying to attain a diploma that I might or might not get? With AP, it's a LOT less stressful and there's less work. BUUT! What I like about the IB is that it's CHALLENGING! I mean, up until now, I had easy A's, and kinda shaped me into the lazy person that I am today. With the people I know in AP, they have really easy classes. Almost sound like easy A's. Also, AP can improve my GPA, as opposed to IB which can do some serious damage to it. The school of my choice, UF, accepts AP over IB. And, gah! I don't know. I don't even have all my arguments laid out! And time is running out! I need some serious guidance so please help meh!

P.s: I have just about NO choice to BUT to stay in. Apparently, AP classes are full and can't accept any more students. . .Fml. But there's dual enrollment? Maybe. Help. . .?

If you don't want to be in IB then why the eff are you still in it? Just because someone says you will not get a diploma does NOT mean they will be right. Why don't you just man up and prove to that person that you can show them that they are wrong. You should be glad you're in IB, because last time I checked, it takes a whole shit load and requirements just to be required to apply IB let alone join it.

AP classes only get you credits for college. do yourself a favor and stay in IB, because you will have classes in IB that are GREAT for college. trust me, if someone was hiring you or looking at your application and they see in your records that you were an IB student and you at least TRIED to pass, they will accept you.


i'm sure there are a BUNCH of people who wish they were in this program. shit i wanted to be in it.
