IB Program??

i didn't do it, but i have several friends who are in it. it's pretty rough on them, and these are some really smart kids. they don't get a lot of social time, and even their elective classes are real working courses. so, i wouldn't recommend it. just from what i've seen
what you could do instead though, is just take ap and/or honors classes on as you think you can handle them. you can take those classes whether you are in ib or not, and maybe not get in way over your head. and you can take the electives you are interested in rather than being pushed into the ones they want you to take. if you do well you can still get into a good college
don't sell yourself short on the grades. if you work hard you can still get a's. i have a friend that takes a bunch of advanced courses and still gets like a 97-100 grade range in most of them. and that's without ib

Although it's very good and you benefit LOTS from it, it's alot of added pressure and the work can be very straining.
It's supposed to be good for you if you have good time management, like, you have no problems sticking to deadlines.
I wouldn't recommend it unless you're very keen on it and if you feel you will have no problem with it academically
