WSO Accounting or College Finance Accounting for IB Recruitment?

Hi guys, I am quite new to this forum so please pardon me if I violate any jungle rules so I can fix them. My question for today is that is WSO accounting foundations course good enough to prepare for IB recruitment, or should I take a financial accounting class from my university coupled with the WSO course just to be on the safe side? For some context, I am currently at a target school so our financial accounting course is quite solid, but I am afraid that the overlapping content would be so enormous that I am better off spending my time on another class than that class. Any thoughts on this? Did you or anyone you know only take the WSO accounting course and succeeded in breaking into BB IB? Thanks a lot fellow monkes!
