Hi Betty,

Enrolling in the IBCP program can offer you beneficial job training and real-life experience that could be extremely valuable if you're interested in studying pharmacy. It's true that this might initially impact your GPA, but the IBCP could equip you with practical skills and knowledge directly related to pharmaceutical studies. Think about how this program fits with your future plans and whether the hands-on experience outweighs the potential GPA dip. If boosting your GPA is your top priority, it would be smart to balance IBCP participation with efforts to enhance your academic performance in key subjects. Ultimately, weigh the practical skills you could acquire against any worries about your GPA, and make a well-informed choice.

Thank you comment icon Hello betty! You're welcome! If you want to be a pharmacist and at the same time take this very critical junior year to heart, then participation in the IBCP program would be one good choice. Why? It gives hands-on abilities and insights that could be of value for further study in pharmacy later on. Do have a great junior year and pursue those set goals! Feel free to ask again if you need more questions or advice in the future. Isabel Dominguez

Karissa’s Answer

I would stick with AP classes. Counselors can remove you from AP classes and the IB program for low grades. You are expected to be a part of groups and you will not be a good partner or group member if you are not studying and taking school seriously. I say stick with AP classes because the counselor may switch you out of an AP class you are struggling with but keep you in the ones you are striving in. If they take you out of the IB program you will not be on track with the AP class and you will have to go to Honor's classes.

Steven’s Answer

I would suggest not going into the program. If you struggle in the program, you would lose more than just one or more classes credits. You would probably not be able to complete the program.

It is important to figure out and try to fix the reason(s) why you are struggling with your grades. This will not only make it easier to get into a pharmacy program but to succeed in the program and beyond.
