I graduated in 2010. I had a 4.0 UW, and my school didn’t weight. There’s a 4.0 full-IB once every couple of years.

I only applied to 3 schools, all of which I knew I would get into, would offer good merit aid, and would give good credit for IB tests.

The IB program has been at my HS since 1978. The story is that it was originally started by IB to prove that something so international would never succeed in the rural midwest. Ha! There aren’t usually a lot of diploma candidates. I think it was around 8 finishing my year, though that was on the low end. But about half the class of 300 students takes at least 1 IB class, which is pretty good for a rather academically diverse school. The weeder for full-IB is usually IB English, which is only offered HL and is the toughest class in the school.
