This kid in HS with me that skipped 2 grades and was in IB is going to be on Jeopardy.

IB kids and me : I'm just as smart, did half the work, and we're in the same program in University. Eat my dick IB kids

FUCK IB Kids, every one that I've met in university is fucking weird as shit

The ones I went to HS with were fucking weird, and thought they were tough shit for geeting into it. Well, I was asked to go into it by my principal, but I didn't want a ridiculous workload and thought it was completely useless. Funny enough, I did less work, had a better time, and stil got into the same programs as 10 of em.

I will say, the ones I met in my residence weren't too bad. 2 of my real good buddies were in IB, but they failed it, so I guess they're cool. The one I met that got a near perfect on IB was the chick living across the hall. She was cool, and never really shoved her IB Degree down my throat. To think of it, she really should've, considering everytime I talked to her about her major, History, I'd always ask if she can wait tables fast.

After you get accepted to college the IB diploma is useless.

Not according to all the IB kids I've met. They make it seem like they're so much better than you cause they worked more in high school.....lol

I was in IB and honestly it's only use is to get in and skip a few classes. I don't even think it helped me applying to law schoolÂ :-\

What you did in high school really has no business affecting law school applications anyways... That said, I'd imagine at the very least IB kids are a little better prepared for actually doing work in college. I slept through classes in high school and junior college and passed, actually having to work at school was a jarring blow

I think IB is a little more useful if you're going to a university outside the US. Going to an international high school, most of the kids who weren't planning on going to an American college were doing IB, while the kids who were did AP.
