To Japstudent12- Ahh that’s so cool! And, that also explains why on my time it says you post 3 am in morning hehe (Yeah I’m dork!)
I became a citizen about 4 years ago it was nice.
I’m sure you’ll get those marks up, don’t worry. IB is all about stress. I just hope it’s as helpful as they say it is in university. But don’t stress too much. I know all to well that too much stress will make you sick; I had to miss three days of school. {I’m stressed about math too. But I’m getting D’s in math (the days of getting B+ are only a memory sigh). That’s one of main reason I was considering dropping full, so I could focus more on my math.} As for that extra year hurting your chances for US schools have you contacted them and asked? And as cowgirlatheart said you are absolutely right about Waterloo.

Since my school had just started with the IB program we only have these for HL choices, and we can only take 2 IB level sciences.
History HL
English HL
Biology HL
Math SL (failing, but will pass!)
French SL
Physics SL (we had a choice between physics and chemistry)
And I’m taking Chemistry in the summer though it won’t count as an IB course.

To cowgirlatheart- I agree with on a lot of what you said. It is better to have something with a little challenge rather than be bored. I love my classes (except math sometimes) I love the fact that we go so much more in depth, but the down side is the homework. It is true no gain without lose. And thanks :D.
