I heard from my friend that, unlike AP, if u fail IB exams (less than a 4 on any exam), your offer to UC Berkeley could get rescinded as implied by the "Conditions of admission" document. Is this true? TT if i don't get my IB diploma... gaaah!
My condition of admissions did not mention anything about IB, but just the upkeep of grades, graduating high school, and staying out of trouble.
Log back into myBerkeleyApp and review your contract. If it does not say anything about IB, you don't have anything to worry about. That contract is a legal contract, not just a piece of information.
They cannot rescind your admissions for arbitrary reasons, unlike private schools can.
***? they dont care. you could fail all your ap exams/ib exams and youd still get in. however if your grades go below a 3.0 or u get a d or f then you can possibly be resicinded
Oh really?!?! I thought you had to get the diploma with a grade higher than a 4... with an overall grade of 5. But then what about those extra credit points from EE and TOK essay?? (they just say an overall grade of B or above with nothing lower than a C... how does that apply to the 7 point scale of the IB?)
Berkeley told the AP ppl that they dont care about AP exams? REALLY?!?! but then they are about IB exams?!? Hmmm...
