| i'm sorry but i think i need to say a bit more. every year int'l students attending ib full diploma 2-yr program apply to ivies/elite schools in us, having no gpas but only ib predicted scores bc actual scores will come out after the final exams in first half of may. based on predicted scores or a levels etc., colleges can review the students application and notify them of either ed mid-dec or by may 1 for rd. of course, these students still need to take sat 1 and sat subject tests if required. some int'l students are new to cc and i don't want them to be confused or discouraged by some inaccurate info.
there's a big difference between ib full diploma 2-yr program having 3 higher level (hl) subjects and 3 standard level (s) subjects plus tok and cas, and individual ib subjects taken. ib full diploma 2-yr program is perfectly fine for admissions requirements for all top tier schools in us.
for reference, we can check websites of, i'm pretty sure, all ivies/elite schools clicking admissions/int'l students and we can find most of info there.
my son and i had been thru all this process. when he applied to us (engineering) schools, he used predicted score (41 plus bonus points), sat 1 and sat 2 subject tests (math & physics) in his college applications, and no gpas. he was accepted to u michigan, cmu, cornell and upenn (which were the only two ivies he applied). he will be going to u penn this fall. |
