IB should be harder than standard AP, IB is mandated by the IBO which is an international organization versus a US company. The 4.6 GPA requirement seems a rather harsh though, I'm guessing you go to an all IB/Honors/Magnet/Whatever school? The IB program at my school generally has a valedictorian with a GPA of about 4.4 or so I think.
I have an A in AP Statistics. Yay for longterm sub who just gives us notes, lets us have group/open notes tests, lets us leave class early and go home, and doesn't care if we decide not to come. (Of course, I'll probably get a 1 or 2 on the AP exam...but still...I hadn't planned on going into economics or anything that would require Stats anyway.) :)

last year our valedictorian had a 4.7 or 4.8.... I can't remember. Wait... we had 3 last year... it was gay.

Honestly, I think the largest constituent of GPA by an overwhelming amount is determination. While this is obviously a great trait in a person, I honestly don't think someone's GPA is an accurate reflection of their intelligence. Our valedictorian this year is pretty smart, but I don't think she's nearly as smart as a few other people in my class. *cough*
