As for the difference between IB or AP-We don’t have IB where I am from, but AP classes always look better on a transcript than regular classes do-providing that you still get at least a B in the class (it is better to get an A in a regular class than a C in an AP!!!). Having these upper level classes will help you get into a good school.

I would suggest taking classes that are going to have some effect on your major-for example if you are interested in going into medicine. Take Anatomy and Physiology as a science credit in high school. My high school offered a class called Street Law for those that were interested in going into law. Colleges will notice these classes on your transcript and see that you are already interested in a field of study-and that will reflect well on you.

Good luck!!!
