7 So, what’s the big deal? "The rigor of IB Diploma requirements meets our recommendation for the strongest high school preparation possible. The Extended Essay echoes William & Mary's belief in the value of original research as well as the College's emphasis on strong writing skills, and the Theory of Knowledge course fosters active and critical learning and is philosophically akin to the goals of our freshman seminar program. The CAS component answers our call for students who have been exposed to community service and creative endeavors and who understand the importance of developing the whole person. In sum, the IB diploma candidate who has met the challenge successfully receives strong consideration from the William & Mary admission committee.” Allison Jesse, former Associate Dean of Admissions, William & Mary. El rigor de los requisitos del Diploma IB cumple nuestra recomendación para la preparación de la escuela secundaria más fuerte posible. El ensayo se hace eco de la creencia de William y Mary en el valor de la investigación original, así como el énfasis de la Universidad de fuertes habilidades de escritura, y el curso de Teoría del Conocimiento de que fomenta el aprendizaje activo y crítico y es filosóficamente afín a los objetivos de nuestro programa de seminarios de primer año. El componente CAS responde a nuestro llamado a los estudiantes que han estado expuestos al servicio de la comunidad y los esfuerzos creativos y que entienden la importancia de desarrollar toda la persona. En suma, el candidato del diploma IB que ha superado el reto con éxito, recibe una fuerte consideración del comité de admisión de William & Mary". Allison Jesse, ex Decano de Admisiones, William & Mary.

8 It’s not just about college credit….. My other class is our first year seminar, and honestly after IB HL English, IB HL History and ToK it has been a class which I enjoy and don't worry much about. Close reading of texts, writing essays and having formal discussions is something I've done a lot of, though of course there is always a lot to improve on. We had our first essay due last week, and the professor was stressing organization and keeping your thesis and argument consistent throughout the essay. Like I said, that has already been drilled into me the last two years so I feel okay about it. I think overall IB made me learn how to think and how to study, so that is coming in really handy now. I know how I work best, whether it's writing essays or preparing for a test. From a 2013 ISB Graduate Mi otra clase es nuestro primer año de seminario y honestamente después de IB HL Inglés, Historia IB HL y Tok ha sido una clase que me gusta y no me preocupo mucho. Cerrar textos de lectura, escribir ensayos y teniendo discusiones formales es algo que he hecho mucho, aunque por supuesto siempre hay mucho que mejorar. Tuvimos nuestro primer ensayo la semana pasada, y el profesor estaba haciendo hincapié en la organización y mantenimiento de la tesis y argumentos consistentes a lo largo del ensayo. Como he dicho, que ya ha sido una rutina para mí en los últimos dos años, así que me siento bien al respecto. Creo que en general IB me hizo aprender cómo pensar y cómo estudiar, por lo que es muy práctico ahora. Yo sé cómo trabajo mejor, ya sea para escribir ensayos o prepararme para una prueba.
