Check out this video from Ivy Lilia (as well as others from her YouTube channel) for her take on if it's worth it and why
"Is the International Baccalaureate Program worth it? I did the IB program from 2016 - 2018. In this video, I discuss if IB is "worth" it from the perspective of a recent college graduate (I graduated from the Ivy League institution Cornell University). I discuss factors that impact what students get out of the program, getting college credit, and how IB prepares students for university-level coursework. Overall, IB was one of the best decisions I've ever made. In retrospect, I am still amazed by the rigorous, thorough, and impactful curriculum I completed while still in high school."
