<p>BUT, and here’s an important thing to consider - to most universities, the IB is equivalent to APs. So even though it’s much more challenging (as these posts seem to underscore), it will not (relative to taking APs) help in college admissions.</p>
<p>In addition, the IB doesn’t prepare you for SAT IIs, except for Math and maybe Lit. I’ve also heard that the languages are much stronger w/ the IB.</p>
