<p>Hi,</p>
<p>As an IB student applying to US universities, I am aware that colleges take the rigor of one’s courses into account. For this reason, I am wondering what my best option, in the following circumstance, would be.</p>
<p>For the diploma, one is required to take six courses; three of which are at the standard level and three of which are more advanced or of the “higher” level. For my senior year, I have been offered to either switch one of my standard level courses into a higher level, or instead take a seventh course at the standard level.</p>
<p>Both of these options will take up the same amount of time on my schedule but I still do not know which one to go with.</p>
<p>Any advice is appreciated!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
