i did the full ib too, and i go to a school that would make it onto that list of "prestigious" institutions, and yes, after doing the IB college classes weren't hard in the sense that I was well equipped to deal with the paper writing, but that didn't mean that the transition to college was easy. and once things started to feel too easy, then i took on more academic challenge. if the kids from your HS who are at the schools you say they are at are not being challenged, they're wasting the money they're paying to be at those institutions, because they cost a freakin lot of money. trust me. so again, don't take their word for it, and yeah, jr. year of HS WAS a lot of stress and hardwork, but so is college.
