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. . .?

Ahhh, thanks guys. You actually helped me a lot more than my friends, who are also questioning IB. I'll stay in. I mean, after awhile, I thought to myself and Beenly, you are right. It does take a lot to get in. And for that, I should stay in. I guess it WILL help me prepare for college. And I should setr my lifestyle to working hard because, honestly, never in my life have I been faced to do soo much work. Even in Pre-IB, I dodn't get so much homework and/or projects. Like, we had REALLY bad teachers. And when I say bad, I really mean it. Like we learned absolutely nothing! So it's a shock, but I will accustom myself to it.

Once again, thank you guys very much. I hope I won't regret it.
