Recently a 17-year-old decided to take action after reading a news story about how students with prestigious International Baccalaureate diplomas don't get the same recognition at Arizona universities as those in other states.
Universities in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Texas and Florida grant automatic sophomore standing to graduates with an IB diploma. But Arizona doesn't, and that fact is contributing to a "brain drain" as IB grads go elsewhere for higher education.
Acquiring and IB diploma is one way that a student can forgo on year of college and alleviate some of their college expense. Though not know by many, this is just one way that many more elite schools place their students at the head to the class.
Students with an IB diploma are more like to receive early admission as well as many other perks that come with studying at the IB level. Similar adjustments are also made for some that take "A" level courses in the British academic system.
