HELP me decide whether I should do the IBDP or not.
Hey, first of all I should say that I'm from Turkey. (I'm not Turkish though.) I am going to start my junior year this semester and I have no idea if I should do the IB or not. I want to do it but if I do it, the government universities in Turkey won't enroll me without a decent YGS score (which is hard to get while focusing on the IB) and money is an issue for me so I won't be able to get in a private university without a huge scholarship. But the thing is, I want to study abroad. Preferably in Europe bc unis in USA are too expensive :/ I know that Germany and Austria accept students based on their YGS exam. There are a few more countries that do the same as well. The countries I would be able to study in are (based on the cost, not IB/YGS) are Germany, Italy, Austria, Poland, Spain(?), Hungary, Belgium(?). I will do the IBDP only if it makes it easier to study in countries like these. so my question is, will it make it easier or will I be able to get in the same unis with a YGS mark. And one last thing, I am a really good student with an average of 95/100. Thanks in advance!
