It isn't going to help all that much either. You would be better off volunteering at the local hospital and doing community work then spending all of your time studying for IB. These are things that people actually look at and are major components of getting into Ivy League schools and generally for getting scholarships. The best case scenario is to do both, but the vast majority of students are not bright enough to get great marks in IB and have time to have a life.
