Does it matter if you took IB or not when applying to U of T, because my teacher said that Ontario universities only look at your Ontario credits. If so, is it worth it to take IB, struggle and get high marks. Also, if i do continue on with IB, i will not be able to take some courses which will help me in the field i am applying for, will this affect my acceptance in that certain field? For example, say i wanted to become a business man, and if i continue IB the only related courses i could take would be HL economics and HL\/SL math, but if i drop-out, I could take more business courses. WIll this affect my acceptance into a business program in U of T?<\/p>\n
