Hey there! as a fellow DP student I 100% recommend that you do what you think its the best for you. To answer your question, you can make up dropping out the IB program with AP classes. AP could be the route for you and it will help you a lot! since you mentioned you have activities outside of school, I think IB would be a lot to deal with, whereas with AP you could have that flexibility.
I'm not talking bad about the IB program, in fact, like I mentioned before I also take IB but hearing and analyzing your situation I believe AP would be a good choice. I hope your journey goes well and lets finish high school strong 💪🏻!
P.S, many kids got rejected from school they should be getting into, please don't compare yourself to them, to a certain extent college admissions can be random so please don't doubt yourself. You will get into a good college.
