Don’t be too hard on yourself. Not only is this program insanely difficult, it appears most schools really don’t know what they are doing. As a parent of a son who just completed his first year of IB (junior) it was the worst academic year of his life. I can truthfully say that he is very bright, hardworking, and committed to the success of his own future yet still ended up with two C’s in subjects he normally excels in. That being said he too is seriously thinking of quitting the IB program, I decided to call the colleges/universities that he was most interested in attending. That is my suggestion to you, contact the top 3 universities that you would like to attend and speak to the admissions dept, I called several times explaining my son’s situation to multiple admission folks (never the same person twice) then take that information and then you can make an informed decision. I wish you the very best in your decision making process and a bright collegiate future
