IB predict grade

Students doing the full IB diploma actually receive TWO diplomas -the regular diploma from their high school and the IB diploma. In the schools I am familiar with (overseas and in the US), students receive grades, report cards, and transcripts that are completely separate from their IB diploma scores. Two separate things.

So, it is certainly possible to apply to a US university, claim to be an IB student, send the high school transcript, send test scores and be admitted - based on the regular high school record. The main reason for “proving” the IB diploma was earned is if the student wants to receive credit for the IB courses taken. Otherwise - it doesn’t matter.

Obviously, there may be some schools who insist on getting the final IB scores and may even require a minimum score to be achieved, but I would think this would all be spelled out in the admissions info.
