Does a B average IB Kid Really Have and Advantage?

I myself is, or used to be, an IB student (and all the exam results come out tomorrow), and I seriously do not think IB program is that challenging. If you work efficiently, even if you go out every night on fridays and saturdays, you can easily achieve As on all classes. (I did not take physics, which is considered to be the hardest of the hardest, so I may as well say physics might be an exception)

That being said, a lot of students who apply to top schools have straight As on all the IB subjects, so B average can actually have a negative impact on your applications.
