OP, I think an IB curriculum in an American school will probably prepare your child for an American university but I don't think it will necessarily "open doors" to an American University. In the University I used to work for, we had a few students from Dubai who went to Our Own English. They had good grades in high school and also had a high teofl/ielts score. They did well in their undergrad as well. I know one of them is back in Dubai working, another one stayed and is now a very successful editor of a magazine. Thanks everyone for your feedback. Any information helps at this stage. @Mumto2, your comments were particularly helpful to understand whether I should move my DD to make university admissions easier. She is doing very well academically and hence am not convinced yet if shifting schools would be a good decision. I really wish I knew of a few students who have gone through this phase to understand this better :)

Hi....just checking for any recommendations on online shopping sites from the UK and US for shipping to Dubai? Am particularly inquiring for girls clothing brands (tweens/teens). I know Gap from the US deliver to Dubai but prices are the same as Dubai retail stores. Thanks in advance.

We've been with Dubai Sports City Facilities Management for a year under their silver maintenance programme and I am not conviced this is right at all. While they arrive for their quarterly check regularly, there seems to be no preventive work done....its more like we will wait to fix when you have a problem... I was wondering what other VH residents experience in this regard. Is there someone better I should use? Please advise. Our renewal is coming up soon and I was hoping we can choose the right team this time....
