Hi all,

I’m an Australian student doing the IB Diploma and graduating in November 2015. Our school year runs from January-November, and we don’t receive our final IB results till January 6th. I read in an article that most colleges have their regular decision application deadline between January 1st and February 1st, and I wouldn’t want to miss out on some colleges due to not having my results by the application deadline. Also, I might like to apply early action to some. Would I be able to apply to colleges with the predicted grade I receive from my mock IB examinations earlier in the year? I know this might vary from college to college (i.e. some might allow predicted grades whilst others might not), and any insight into whether it’s likely to be accepted at most or all colleges would be great.

Thanks,
