Marian - that is exactly the situation we have. It just feels like only the top colleges are aware of this sort of issue, and my S feels it’s more important to get the year of each science in prep for a college pre-med track than it is to get the diploma.

I don’t know if that’s correct or not

With a likely not stellar gpa in a very tough courseload, I’m wondering if the diploma will help.

You sound so well-versed in IB matters - do you know if SL I (without SL II) would be adequate preparation for first semester calculus in college?
