Hi my name is Lilia. On Ivy Lilia, I post weekly and enjoy sharing about my experiences with college applications / admissions, the Ivy League, the International Baccalaureate programme, Cornell University / The Hotel School, and more!
Me:watching this video while procrastinating my IB work. “Procrastinating will hurt you more than being stupid”
Me: interesting 🧐
“Don’t believe in the hype” that really calmed me down a lot 😌
I’m in the IB and my mental state depletes more and more everyday 😭 But I would never drop out it’s just a lot and I feel like I can’t focus on living my life at all so idk bout some of these kids answers lol 👀
@Yacine Bourahla [Student] yeah I regret it im in college now and only got credit for one class most of the colleges locally only accepted HL courses which I know is common but they didnt even accept my history class? Overall, I should've taken college courses and could've gotten a lot more credit :/.
@@jessicaphillips8388 so it was hard for you because you just wanted more credits for university. you didn't really wanted to enjoy the ib, the process of learning what it teaches you, the whole experience. doing 2 years of hard work just for some credits that weren't much is obviously a terrible experience.
@@user-vb3kn6ur3s I was there for both. I don't learn much under super stressed conditions. My teachers put too much emphasis on how hard it is and made it seem so over the top, when they could have promoted a more take it one step at at a time approach. My school was the only ib school in the state, so nobody even knows what it is. Props to anyone who have actual IB schools. Here the IB kids are very divided from the rest of the school and were held back from doing activities the rest of the students got to participate in. Really sad experience, wish we had a proper IB school nearby.
Re-visiting IB vids even though I graduated 2 years ago, it definitely made college feel like a cakewalk lmao
IM - HAZ so how old are you rn?
can you explain why lol? i’m a senior and i’m hoping that college will be easier
@@im_haz Do you still feel this way?
@@im_haz Judging from your english I can understand why you feel that way.
Siraf 123 that's not nice to say. you don't know their experience or what's going on w their life that's affecting them from having perfect english
I did IB in 2004-2007.. I’m a full-fledged Oncologist now.. still looked back at my time doing IB with pride.. it was hard, but absolutely worth it ( it was harder than the first 3 years of Med School!)
your videos are always so well-edited and really fresh among the tons of ib/school videos out there, i cant believe this is a new channel! i seriously love these videos so much
thank you so much!
I’m a DP2 and I am watching this at 4 am, trying to finish an IA. I hope that answers your questions!
As a former Chinese IB student, I would say that IB is really difficult... The HL Maths and HL Language and Literature are disasters for me during my IB time...
AI SL here🥴
1:55 - this guy is soo motivating, thanks a lot sir...
Why is this interview on the BEST IB students, lmao not representing the majority 😂😂😂
Thank God for some positivity finally!
Looool my HL chem teacher told us to quit IB and like I wish that it was because we were bad students or something, but he said this after one test that my class bombed. Keep in mind, my class average prior to this was like a level 5 or 6 loool. Safe to say, he wasn’t my favourite teacher. I’m not the biggest fan of HL chem, but I loved stoich for some reason? Anyway I hope I get a better teacher in year two!
Okay, but the intro is amazing!
Do you do it for CAS? I'm so confused what to for creativity 🙄
What career do most students in the IB go into? Could you make a video interviewing different IB students and asking about their dreams, accomplishments and what they want to achieve in the future
I would LOVE to make this video, but unfortunately I've moved across the country away from my IB friends. Watch out for a video like this in December when I go back home!
thanks so much I start IB in 2 days and this video is helping me calm down :))))
Well that’s a relief. Are you still “calm”? 🙃
Hi, I have a question, so I will be studying in an ib school this year and I am actually confused as to which laptop will be apt for the programme. It will be great if you could help me out in order to select a windows laptop or a Mac. My subjects are-- HL business, HL visual arts HL Hindi(I'm from india) SL English , SL math and SL computer science.
heyy!! From experience a mac (like a Mac book air*) is usually an all-rounded computer to use, I am in business studies and IT and I am able to access all programs and software easily.
* I'm referring to the mac book air since it's small and compact compared to other larger macs, the size is important since you will use your laptop a loooottt! Between essays and research, carrying it constantly and having it around you 24/7.
I do know students who purchased pc's and windows because of the lower price and they have come to regret it. A window subscription + office subscription + other firmware that lack in those laptops have ended up being pricy.
Anyways I hope I could help! also good luck!!
always windows bro, the compatibility with everything and every program is much higher than mac, you don't want to loose time with that
that's the problem I procrastinate A LOT! if I don't then I would probably get a really good grade
I like the creative intro.
I am an Indian student hoping to join the IBDP program next year.
I plan to take the following subjects:
HL: Eng lit, econ, psych
SL: Physics, Math AA, French Ab initio
Can someone help me understand how much time i will need to commit per day outside of school for this..and if i will have the time to prepare for competitive exams(CLAT for 2 to 3 hours daily)
Also will i be able to take say for example two to three weeks off before the exam day in December of my second year of IBDP for this same exam...
Thanks in advance for the help:))
hi, im in grade 8 and im going to apply for the IB test next Jan. I want to study for it, but i have no clue what questions to study for. any suggestions?
Well, it's too late for me to reply now...
@@hihello3285 its all good, i got in lmao
@@Jack-du2oh That's nice.
@@Jack-du2oh so how was it
How is it going now?? Is it difficult?
People make IB sound like such a hard thing (I’m not directing to anyone) but it’s actually not, it’s fun and boosts up ur learning a lot more than regular schools.
Softiier It is very hard for some
Tell me something true about this comment
Will ibdp be too hard for an average student?
I'm so confused, who do I believe
its most certainly not fun lmaooo
is it ok to join IB in the 10th grade?
no cuz you need grade 10 background knowledge like in the sciences and math and stuff. it's not even an option in my country lmao. there are grade 10 prerequisites that you need to do which you can't do in ib
Well...I will start my IB life after 7 days, so good luck to me 😂😐
How is it ?
@@Mohammed-uw3bx he died of academic pressure 😞
what does IB stand for ? whats the name of your school
IB is a program, it isn’t a school
@@softiier8636 she never said it was a school😂she wanted to know the name of the school the kids go to
Jisungshoney_StrayKids 101 oops my bad
@@softiier8636 lol your good😂
I’m a DP2 watching this at 1am, cramming for HL psych, for my exam tomorrow, I didn’t choose this program I go to the only international school in this country and it’s either IB, or this bullshit HS do that has the same courses but without the title so this is all I got
If ib is so great and all....WHY THE FUCK DO I WANT TO KILL MYSELF. Thats why I'm dropping out to full regular.
thanks XD
I'm a sophomore taking a college level class...
Gameplay Central well they mean it becomes college level when you get to grade 12
