Obtaining International Baccalaureate Diploma is a very rigorous path, that I am interested in taking.

I believe that the IB Programme will help me bring out my full potential unlike any other academic pathway. I want to do IB, because it will make me accustomed to output a higher standard of work. I think that even though being an IB student will require a lot of effort and responsibility, that it will be enjoyable and an awesome experience. If I were accepted into IB, I would contribute to the academic and extracurricular components of the IB Programme with my creativity and unique way of reasoning and analyzing. My friendly personality would also add to the amiable environment of IB. I realize that being in IB will require me to budget my time.

I plan a schedule, so I can manage my time efficiently. I will be putting most of my focus upon my academics. I believe if I am focused on my academics, I will be able to manage to accomplish my extracurricular goals and responsibilities. The IB Programme is a great experience that will help me become a more responsible, well-rounded of a person, and prepare me for life after high school.

Not bad. But the first sentence can be deleted. You're telling them something they already know.


This here is not a good start. You could tell what makes you have potential, somethings you previously done. What type of person you want to become when you finish the IB program.


This here is what I believe could be a strong thesis. Build on what you have here.


The last sentence is another where you could explain more. Talk about your ambitions after high school, if you have decided on a career path. The rest of the essay are simple fillers, but you can work on them and make them unique. Hope this helps. :)

Thank you, this helps a lot!!

I have told by many people that I have a great potential, however, I don't feel challenged by my current academic pathway.


I understand that IB Programme is quite challenging and I like that idea of taking up the challenge by making use of my fullest potential.


I think you repeat almost the same idea over and over again.
