What are some good things I can say for my high school IB application?

Question

I know these questions are directed to ME but I need some ideas. What would you put if it was you applying?

1. Why are you applying to the IB program?

2. What do you hope to gain from the IB program?

3. How do you see yourself(now and in the future) as a contributing member of your school, community and world?

Answer 1

Hm, I'd warn you not to go into IB, but it'd probably fall on deaf ears; suffice it to say, it prepares you for college, but the diploma itself doesn't do you much good, since you get it only after you graduate, so you're almost always already accepted at college.

Anyway:they probably wouldn't mind hearing that your interested in a challenge, difficult courses- give examples where you've been in difficult courses in the past, etc. That probably works for both of the first two, in addition to preparation for college. Can't help much with the third though. Talk about your own interests and how you would be involved in clubs relevent to your activities. Would you be interested in politics, medicine, science, art? etc.
