uhh… mine got received last year so dunno what you’re talking about.

though, this is slightly off-topic, ucsd is BULL SHIZ with ib scores.

if you get 30 ib points, you are supposed to get 30 unassigned credits. this doesn’t really do much besides giving you a better registration time, but better registration time is VERY HELPFUL.

well… i got 35 points from ib and at first i got my 30 credits no problem. then in spring quarter, almost 9 months after, they decide to take away 24 of my ib credits, leaving me with only 6. their reason? my ib and ap scores overlapped, so they had to take away 8 credits for every test that overlapped. took bio ap and bio hl, calc bc ap and math hl, spanish ap and spanish sl. therefore, they decided to take away 24 credits. why is this bull ****? cuz they aren’t supposed to do this. i have asked friends who were in ib from my school, in my grade and those several years older than me, and none of them had this problem except ME. none of my classmates got their credits taken away and they took the exact same tests as me from ucsd. no one from ucla, berkeley, or usc got their credits taken away like me.

**** UCSD.

i argued with the counselors for a long time to no avail. i had help from my high school ib coordinator who also helped argue to get my credits back. these stupid *s at ucsd said “NO NO NO NO SORRY YOU GET 24 CREDITS TAKEN AWAY ASS”.

what’s also funny is that they don’t give credits for sl tests, YET THEY DECIDE TO TAKE AWAY CREDITS FOR SL TESTS THAT OVERLAP WITH AP TESTS? even if they follow their own “policy” of removing credits of overlapping tests, they shoulda only taken away 16 credits for my math hl and bio hl, not spanish sl cuz that is an sl test and i shouldn’t be getting credit for that anyways. but these *s at ucsd didn’t want to acknolwedge their mistake and were on their high horse saying NOPE 24 CREDITS REOMVED * YOU. pompous bastards.
