I need help...
I am debating on whether or not to do the IB program. I am an honors student who has a 3.8 GPA. I am a very good student... but I tend to procrastinate a little. But I am very motivated and hope I can take this amazing oppertunity on. Please tell me what you think I should do!

In response to your question, I am currently an IB2 (IB grade 12) student in Canada, so I'm not as familiar with the GPA system (States). If I'm not mistaken that would mean high 80s in honours/AP classes.
Succeeding in IB takes two things - an amazing work ethic (which is about 70% of the success) and actual intelligence (30%). If your GPA is anything to go by, I'd say you're intellectually prepared.
That procrastination, though, will *really* bite you in the backside. Trust me, I've been there. If you think you can whip yourself into shape, go for it. There's really nothing you can lose by trying it, in any case. And it really is rewarding, esp. in the States.
Pre-IB is the material learned in the IB program in the 9th and 10th grade 11th and 12th grade is IB material
That is what I am doing because that fits the program at my school. However if your ib classes solely look at ib topics I wouldn't recommend it.
The IB symbol for the International Baccalaureate program is a circle with three curved lines inside, representing the three core elements of the IB program: the learner profile, the approaches to learning, and the areas of interaction.
No. IB is pretty good, but the newest edition of the AICE Cambridge Curriculum is far the best.
No, you don't. While taking the IB program can be beneficial, depending on the area you wish to pursue, it isn't a requirement for admission.
IB is a two year program, so it starts your junior year. However many schools offer pre-IB the year before, designed specifically to prepare you for your IB classes. however nothing you do that year will be incorporated or give you credit for your final diploma....
There is no IB in junior high, but there is the Middle Years Program, which prepares students for the IB program in high school. This is not offered at every high school. IB is still somewhat new in the western part of the US.
IB. Nothing else compares.
No
The ACT is a standardized test similar to the SAT, while IB is a program similar to AP. They have nothing in common....
Around 28 Ib ( 12.5 Kg )
if you are in Maryland and in prince georges county, you apply for the program. for anything else ask your school counselor.
