<p>purplexed: Well, my daughter was in IB and also graduated with 11 AP courses. She’s doing a double major, and while she does not think it’s easier than high school, I think she probably does feel her days are more manageable–in the sense that she feels like she has more control over her time, I think. The courses aren’t back-to-back, all day everyday, so in some ways she may feel less stressed (on a day-to-day basis). I do suspect that any student who followed a rigorous curriculum in high school, and did well in it, probably has his or her time management skills down to a science, so that surely helps-- and would help at any university. She’s never had any difficulty w/regard to advising, nor with accessible faculty at UNC.</p>
