Since the IB grades don’t come in until around July, colleges have no real way of knowing what they will be until they actual arrive. Your predicted IB grades have little to no standing with colleges.</p>
<p>IB really isn’t as helpful as you may think it is. What it does show is that you are taking a rigorous and accelerated curriculum that is internationally well-known. Good grades in many HL classes are what helps the most.[\quote]</p>
<p>Do you think it’s true?</p>
<p>My concern is, for example, at the beginning of my senior year, my school economics teacher has been changed. The new one is really a joke who doesn’t know what IB economics is about, and I’m consistently earning worse grade from her (in junior, I got either a 6 or 7, but now only a 5)… which is shown on my senior report card (despite minor improvement in other core HL subject areas like physics, for example)…</p>
<p>I feel I wanna contact/fax MIT about this issue, but again, I don’t know make myself look paranoid and complaining. All I hope to do is simply “retaliate” by scoring really high on my official May exam, and have it sent to MIT when the diploma result comes in June/July…</p>
<p>However, it all depends on whether or not I’m accepted in the first place…</p>
<p>Can some one help???</p>
