~~Calling all IB Sudents: Most Popular Colleges IB Students apply to~~

<p>List the school, city it is in, and country it is in. If you want to, list where your IB school is.</p>

<p>I think it varies a great deal from school to school. Anyway, most of the IB’ers in my school went to UNC Chapel Hill, although we have a few at Duke, Wake Forest, and Boston U. Pretty standard schools if you’re from NC, even if you’re not in IB.</p>

<p>In my school, we only had about 23 seniors. Most of them went to Baylor University and University of Texas at Austin. I know that one went to SUNY-Stonybrook, another went to Duke, I think another one went to Stanford, and one went to Rice. By the way, my IB school is in Texas.</p>

<p>My class of 35 sent 9 to UVA, 7 to W&M, 4? to VTech, Duke, Yale, Penn, Richmond, USNA, USAFA, Hopkins BME, New College, George Washington (7 year med program), McGill…</p>

<p>that’s all I can remember, twas 2 years ago… and my school is in VA.</p>

<p>My high school is in Calgary, AB, Canada. Our graduating class is usually around 650 people, 40 of whom are in the IB program. The most popular universities for IB kids here are UBC, McGill, U of Calgary (for credit/saving $$), and Queens. We also usually send a couple people to the Ivies, depending on the year.</p>

<p>Most of the ones here in Florida (which is a lot) apply to University of Florida</p>

<p>UF has more IB students than any other school in the world</p>

<p>Most of the IB kids at my school go to German, Swiss or UK universities, a couple to Ivies and top US schools though, Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth, MIT, Duke, etc.</p>

<p>The Euro kids go to places like LSE, Imperial College, University College London, Oxford (once in a while…!), Univ of Edinburgh, Univ of Bristol, etc… some go to Australia, some go to New Zealand. The American kids (there are more of them) go to schools mainly in the East… the Ivies, Duke, JHU. A bunch go to the UCs, some go to Chicago.</p>

<p>Does anybody know about Deerfield Beach High’s IB program and where the students go to college. It is in Florida.</p>

<p>from what i notice in general (this is based on observations from schools that have both the IB and AP program on the same campus), most of the IB kids in california apply to UC’s and top privates (ivies, stanford, other top privates, usc)… basically the same thing the AP kids apply to. in general, the IB kids as a CLASS get into better colleges than the AP kids, but there are some AP kids who get into better colleges than the IB kids, and there are some IB kids who get into “lowly” colleges as well. most of the IB kids don’t apply to anywhere different than what most of the AP/honors kids apply to, except some of the more ambitious ones might apply to top privates.</p>

<p>UF has the most IB students. Are there any American IB students using their “international diploma” and studying at a foreign university (not study abroad)?</p>

<p>not that i know of in my old school but i used to go to a IB school(south side hs-well known school well known district in suburban well lets put it this way LONG ISLAND!!!) but switched out soo many People i know graduated from the IB program…its extrremley well known at my school kids go to schools like BU, Villanova, and a bunch of others and a few to ivies!</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>Anyone else? Also, do you get financial aid if you have an IB diploma at a foreign university?</p>

<p>I go to an IB school, and am myself partial IB. There tend to be 2 distinct trends at my school
1)Rely on the top 10% rule here in TX to go to a state school
2)Go to a small, LAC
Sure, some people will break the trend, but 90% can be placed into these categories.</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>jessy09, a lot of people do go to schools outside of their home country with the IB Diploma, but I think that it is more students from other countries coming to the US. Unless you’re going out of the US to somewhere like Oxford of Cambridge or LSE, you can find a comparable school in the US (and you can even find comparable schools to those), which will likely be cheaper (if nothing else, money spent on travel).</p>

<p>there’s a website (ibscrewed) that has message boards for IB kids and there are people from many countries, and that go to school in many countries, who post there. You can google for it, or PM me and i’ll send you the link.</p>

<p>I’m from a school in a suburb about 100 miles from Los Angeles. Most IB seniors from my school go to UC schools (most popular are UCI, UCSD, UCR, UC Berkeley, UCLA) and USC. Those are most popular by far. Occasionally someone goes to a big name Ivy or Ivy caliber school (in past five or six years, we’ve had one to Harvard, one to Stanford, one to Caltech, one to Princeton) or a liberal arts / small size college (for example, Whitman, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Hendrix, etc…). But for the most part it’s state schools or USC.</p>
