I thought Elvis was cool when I was 7, 15 or 23. I must be special.

Well, Elvis is a bit special, he was the white guy that was loved by everyone. But there's plenty of other stuff (starting with the clothes and the hairstyles) from the 50s that noone would think is cool today.

good morning all

Did you take it, if so how long ago?

I did, yeah. It was the best choice for me bar none. A lot, if not most people in my class said if they could redo it they wouldn't pick the IB a second time. I think that's just a silly revisionist stance, the grass is greener. I definitely would, what's more I miss the organization and the order the IB has at university level. You think because it's an institution of "higher learning" things are gonna make sense and be organized, but it's not. You get graded on things without ever knowing the criteria beforehand, you take exams without knowing the syllabus, it's ridiculous. The IB has its problems, but the way it's organized is pretty unique and impressive. It's what an organized school is.

I graduated in 2001.

Where are you taking it?

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

I wish.

Actually, the norm here is 9 years. 3 bachelor, 2 master, 4 doc (3 if you're some sort of genius, but it's rare).

I don't know. I guess maybe you have 4+1 and we have 3+2? And you have more liberal arts bs in your degrees perhaps.
