It also states: “Students who do not complete the IB diploma are able to receive advanced standing credit for IB Higher Level subjects with scores of 5, 6 or 7.” So she got the diploma, but not the credit she would have gotten if she had not gotten the diploma…
Also EVERY college tour guide we went on stated that they take IB/ AP credit, but there is always a big asterisk next to that statement. Just trying to help prospective students see that once you commit to the school, they may or may not take your credit depending on their convoluted rules.
