- Is doing the IB diploma program (IBDP) in high school worth it? As an IB graduate who scored 45 points (perfect score), I can tell you the real benefits-AND risks-that no one has told you about IB.

@katietracy Have your class ever “failed” a subject and KNOWS your teacher will scold you because y’all asked stupid questions during exam??
Hey I just joined the iblieve community a few days ago and I am really exited to be a part of it!💚
I am a pre IBDP student and had questions about my subject choices, as well as what my priorities should be while choosing them? I don’t know what HL and SL subjects I should go for yet so I would love if I could get some guide lines!
This is soooo helpful Katie, even for DP1 students to help convert our attitude towards the program and appreciate its benefits
agreed
THANK YOU VANSH🥺🥺 THAT MAKES THIS ALL WORTH IT❤️
Thank you so much for this . The 3rd semester in IB is super hectic and messing with my head but this helps a lot for me to keep on striving ✨✨✨
YES Zahiah!! You’re more than halfway done! Final stretch girl☺️🌟
@@KatieTracy omg you replied 😭 thank youuu ❣️
Oh my god, I'm in the middle of my first year of college and I definitely have IB phobia rn. But I very much relate to literally EVERYTHING you said in this video. The IB really does push you and makes college a bit easier.
yeah the extra stuff is really bad, there's hours of sleep you'll never get back
also good luck losing 5 years of your life because of the lack of sleep
poor health could result in bad long-term health effects
Katie you're so cool! everytime I watch your videos, I always end up being motivated to learn more :))
Amazing review of the IB programme, thanks for this insightful and great semi curriculum overview, I have already passed my interview from your knowledge shared here, thank you.
OMG!! Mas gumanda este your so stunning beauty as always queenn Katiee ilove you✨😍❤️Keepsafe missyou hoping to meet you soon ✨❤️
Loving from the philippines 🇵🇭❤️✨ Thank you for this
Thank you sm for the info Katie❤ keep going🌼
omg i'm a dp1 student & heavily rely on ibelieve !!!! helloooo thank u so much
Thank you for this amazing video. This has successfully convinced me to do the IB in 2021.
hii how are you doing there
Great video! I can relate to several of these. That being said, while IB is seen as a standard, a school system that is the same wherever you go, in practice sadly this is just not the case. The school you go to really matters, at my school I certainly didn’t have teachers that cared about whether I was doing well or not. It may be because I attended a high school with several different programs, and students taking IB only made up a very small percentage of the student population.
If I were to advise someone on whether to attend the IB or not I’d certainly also have a deep look at the actual school, and how well it implements the IB program.
Great advice and so true! Schools vary greatly in terms of their resources to IB students and the experience is much better if the school is dedicated to the program.

I seriously did not notice the difference when you let us choose between two thumbnails. 🤣
Aloha from Malaysia! I was thinking about doing IB but just seeing the fees, it's pretty much expensive for me. I have other friends doing it but enjoyed it.
Hi Katie~I just realized that IB school is so interesting. I transferred to an IB school last year, and I saw your videos, it was so helpful! Not pressuring, but I hope there are more IB videos coming up~I’ll always support you, bye~~
Aww thank you so much fiona!! That’s so exciting! And yes, I recommend checking out my IB playlist with several videos already☺️
@@KatieTracy Thank you for replying me~~I watched all the IB videos from you, and now trying to watch all the other videos~~keepitup~~
Except for the IBs did you have to take the SATs or the TOEFL English Exams or other ones?
Hi, Katie. Can you just transfer to an IB school later on if you didn't start out in one? If so, when would be the ideal time to transfer?
lemme note this down for my IB interview 😌✨💅
YESS good luck!!☺️
Nice, I got an interview soon as well. Thanks for the guidence.
@@Ayush_JourneytoMed AHHHH GOOD LUCKKK!
good evening Katie, im Paloma from Argentina!!!! Im currently a sophomore in high school with 4 days left until I finish this year and become Junior. This first year in the IB program has put me to the roof, in a positive and negative way. currently, Im doing my Economics HL IA essay about a sugary drinks tax as a solution to a negative externality on consumption (microeconomics), and am struggling with the evaluation table and structure of this kind of two-sides essay. DO you have any tips on that, or just about economics? Its the subject I am struggling the most, plus Sports, Health and Human Science, which is a new one at my school. And, if you have any links from IBlieve that can help me with the internal assessments from all the IB program, that would really help me a lot. Thank you, and I hope you're doing well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alohaaaa from Turkey🇹🇷🇹🇷 it's very helpful thanks soo much
im currently in grade 9, and my school gave us a speech on the ib program and I wanna take it (im from the ph btw ahah) and im honestly so happy I found your channel! I honestly hope I get to be like you!! do you have any suggestions and tips??
Very insightful video. The most important thing I got out of it is that if the student doesn’t know what they “want to be”, this is a good program for them.
that is something im struggling with rn
Hi Katie, thank you so much for always being there by our side and supporting us!
If you don't mind, I have a question regarding my grades and it''s been making me feel very anxious. In eight, ninth and tenth grades, my grades were OKAY (no fives, but was by no means perfect sevens). This was because there were classes like design class, music and food technology that were not my forte. I'm now in IB1 and for my first term, I managed to get all 7's except in one class - and hopefully I can continue this trend. However, I'm really worried - will my ninth and 10th grades put me at a disadvantage? Will it be impossible to get into ivy league universities? Sorry that it became like a rant, just really nervous T____T Thank you Katie
Hi Katie, you got 45/45 in the IB program, why do you think you weren’t accepted in my Harvard? I’m genuinely interested because it’s my dream to attend Harvard.
It's been quite a while!
Okay, so I'm currently a freshman (highschool) and i was just wondering, what do you think would look better on a college app: graduating with a full IB diploma or with an associates degree? Just wondering cause i'm leaving my IB school for a dual-credit school and hopefully i'll be able tograduate with an associates. :0
An advice I can give to those who are thinking about becoming part of the Ib is ANALYZE BEFORE MAKING THE DECISION. Ib is a programme that helps you to develop researching and analytical skills yes, that is true but it is not going to change your life significally. I remember that some people said that ib was the best that happened to them, it changed their lives, etc. That was not definitely true. Maybe your coordinator has told you that you are going to have more opportunities regarding universities and since you have the diploma you are going to enter different institutions directly without taking a test, well that is not totally true and in fact it depends on the career you choose. In my country if you are going to study medicine, ib is not worth it because all the universities will require you to pass the pre university course independently whether you were ib or not. But if you are thinking about studying economics then the ib will be worth it because you will enter directly and you even have the option to homologate some subjects ( As long as you have studied economics or business and management in ib, if not, forget about it) but this benefit only happens if you decide to choose a private university, if you want to study in public university your ib diploma will not be recognized and you will have to take test as everyone else. BUT IT DEPENDS ON YOUR COUNTRY TOO, SO INVESTIGATE TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND. Soooo finally I can SAY: THINK WELL and make the decision based on the career and the university you want to study just in that way will be worth it. Do not worry if you decide not to choose the IB, it's ok, I mean sometimes we Feel pressured by other people but just live you life in the way you want and well all the answers are inside you so Good luck.
i hope u reach 200k subscribers by the end of the year!!

I’m planning on taking full IB next year, but the amount of HL classes they offer at my school for stem is just Bio and chem, and I’m planning on going for a career in stem, but I was talking to my councillor and they mentioned that bio wasn’t super important because unis in stem really just focus on physics and chem and I can pick up bio later - and I really wanted to get your opinion of you could. Thanks so much, awesome vid !
Hey!! This is a great question and I’d encourage you to check out IBlieve and try to attend a live online event so you can chat with grads who are in the bio/chem space :) My experience is personally more with tech. THANK YOU for your support❤️
Our school makes it mandatory to do the MYP program in IB (we've basically completed it). And next year only 8 people decided to do the IB diploma cause we hate it sm. Anyways, I love your videos even though I'm not doing the IB. Keep up the great work!!
ah thank you so much karam!! I totally understand and hope you came out stronger through it.❤️
@@KatieTracy Yes, I feel as if the MYP is going to make me well prepared for my transition to the Australian Curriculum. Hopefully I will find the curriculum somewhat easier.
Aloha from Pakistan! 😊😊 Happy online classes lol! Due to covid our college campus is closed and we are taking classes on zoom lol
Learning brevity was not part of the IB, was it?
I think another big reason people don't do IB is the cost. Schools are especially expensive in a few countries.
This is true. I tried to cover this in my point about accessibility but I should have expanded it to more than just proximity. Thanks Mridula!
I just found out I got into IB! Thanks for this video it really helped me in my decision to do it!
aw that's. awesome! congratulations and best of luck becca :)
@@KatieTracy thank you so much!!
Hey Katie! Thanks for sharing these benefits! As a DP 2 student I agree! However, doing IB in Germany is not that well recognised if you want to go to pursue further education there... (German qualifications are strongly preferred) and the government does unfortunately set up a couple hurdles for IB students when wanting to study there (only several subjects are allowed, some are not accepted at all (Computer Science, ESS for example), HL Maths must be taken (they don’t care if you maybe want to study art/Languages later, HL maths is required) etc.) and there are in general no entrance exams to get into German universities!
You don't have to take HL math if you take an HL science (either biology, chemistry, or physics) for Germany! You must take either HL math or one of those HL sciences though.
@@zoelolitaoreilly6544 I didn't know that! Always thought you have to do HL Math... But, yeah, wouldn't necessarily recommend IB for Germany anyway.
Oh interesting! Thank you all for sharing your perspectives.❤️
@@zoelolitaoreilly6544 It changed starting from the class of 2021! Before it used to be like you said
@@_herrmann3738 how is it now?
Hlo!! You are back

When asked by what does it feel in the second when fighting Joe Fraizer in The Thrilla and Manila Muhammand Ali said like a last minute Marathon you ask yourself why am I fighting this monstrosity of a man? Why am I taking so much punishment? Why am I in this place? He said to prove a point, to battle against the odds and realizing the importance of victory.
Hit like if you love Katie
I didnt do the myp programme but rather the igcse, and am currently in the 10th grade, so i was just wondering if you could perhaps (if you know) explain to me the progression? I want to do math, physics, econ hl next year, and am currently doing (for these 3 subjects) further pure math, triple award physics, and economics.
Also, if possible could you explain to me how dp fares for university for engineering/comp sci and economics/financial mathematics
Hey Aditya!! I personally didn’t do the IGCSE so I’m not familiar, but there are grads from IBlieve who’ve progressed from that to the IB. I’d recommend reading these Intro to IB posts that grads wrote about their transition: iblieve.org/category/intro-to-ib/ Good luck☺️
@@KatieTracy Ok, Thank you 👍, I will be sure to check out the website!
love from China！！🇨🇳
you can pass with all 4 and a 0 in TOK and EE
so don't worry guys it's possible
In another life ,I'll definitely choose IB (i cant even handle my school's curriculum , RIP)
greetings from germany !
lol when the 3 reasons to not go to IB section is the most longest section -_- hahah. IB Grad (2016) here and now I'm in medical school it really does pave the way. IB made it hard for you in hs so that college will be a breeze. Trust me, I never broke down in college because IB already set the bars so high.
I am from Taylor Swift song and I have subscribed 👍
Aloha!
Katie, if you went to Ateneo we would have been batchmates. 😭 Did you consider Ateneo or were you set on studying abroad?
AHUE close!! If I were to study in the PH, I definitely would’ve gone to Ateneo. But I was hopeful to study abroad!
Lol. My IB school is right across my house
Am I the only one the loves and adores the IB from the bottom of my heart? I'm so excited to start IB1.
Youre not the only one! I honestly have a lovehate relationship with IB as its so rough but helped me grow so much. I just finished IB (May 2021) and its honestly bittersweet.
@@syndeywong4673 I've watched your videos and didn't notice that you answered me here until I came to rewatch this video 😂🤍. You did a great job, I have a lot to learn from you.
