The International Baccalaureate program is a 2 year program requiring its participants to take classes of different difficulties: 3 Higher Level and 3 Standard Level. In these classes, you have to do Internal Assessments which are projects which you are not allowed to have assistance from a teacher or students in your class. IB also requires that you do CAS, which requires you to do something creative (painting, drawing, making a book, etc), active (running, sports, etc), and something with service (food bank, tutoring, etc). Also, IB requires you to write an essay before the end of Senior Year. The goal of IB is to make you a well-rounded student.
As for Dual-Enrollment, it is a semester course only seen in certain classes. For example, if you're taking physics, it can sometimes count as a high school credit as well as college credit. Ask your school for more information about DE. It is seen at most high schools.
I got accepted for Fall 2010. These are the classes I took in my last 2 years: American History (Honors) English IV (Honors) Physics Chemistry AP Macroeconomics (3) AP Language/Comp (4) Sociology (Dual-enrollment) Religion (Dual-enrollment) Speech (Dual-enrollment) International Relations (Dual-enrollment) US Government (Dual-enrollment) Precalculus (Dual-enrollment) Trigonometry (Dual-enrollment) When I submitted my transcript to UF my GPA was 4.0 (unweighted) and 4.25 (weighted). I scored 1410/2110 on the SAT (730 Math, 680 Reading, 700 Writing). These aren't the best stats or the strongest courseload, but I think the 1 year of Dual Enrollment and the SAT score are what helped me the most.
Check with your local community college. Some college's promote the dual enrollment program, and others do not. Either way, your local college should be happy to provide you with information about dual enrollment and the requirements of dual enrollment. :)
