Would it be better for me to take AP or IB if I want to be a pediatrician?
I am currently a freshman taking an IB course, but I have the opportunity to switch to AP. However, if I choose AP, I would need to take Latin. Unfortunately, my school does not offer many AP courses that align with my intended major, with the exception of Biology. The available AP courses offered by my school are: African American Studies, Art History, Biology, Calculus AB, Computer Science, English Language & Composition, English Literature & Composition, Environmental Science, Microeconomics, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, U.S. Government, U.S. History, and World History. After researching both options, I found limited and mixed opinions about IB online. Some sources suggest that IB does not guarantee a diploma and is exceptionally challenging. Additionally, my school requires students to stay after school each day to attend classes, which I am not sure I am willing to commit to. However, if IB is the recommended pathway for pursuing pediatrics, I am willing to take the risk. However, admission to the program is not guaranteed, and I would need to pass an exam. Given these factors, I am genuinely undecided about which path to choose. (If I should pick AP, can you please select the APs that would best suit me.)

I am currently 16 years old (I’m turning 17 this year) living in California and I’m going into my junior year of high school. J know choosing to go into such a rigorous field as the medical field won’t be easy but I trust in my decent academic performance in school so far and love for helping others. I know it might seem self centered to say I’d like to help people but as someone who’s life was made possible to actually live it rather than to just exist in it by a doctor and never getting the chance to tell them how grateful I am, I wish to take that and do it for others.
