International Baccalaureate Offers

<p>Could any IB students offered from any of the following schools (or schools of similar selectivity) please provide the final IB score required for admissions to the university? Please specify if the score includes or does not include TOK & CAS points.</p>

<p>Wake Forest
William & Mary
Georgetown
Cornell
McGill</p>

<p>Your help is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>You don’t get your IB scores until the summer after senior year, so admissions to these colleges has nothing to do with your scores. Predicted scores are sent, but I haven’t seen them come into play at schools like Wake, Cornell, or William and Mary, at least anecdotally. GPA and scores are more important (or, for Wake, the interview).</p>

<p>I understand the IB final scores are not available until year end senior year. However, all UK schools offer conditional acceptance depending upon a final IB score exceeding X of their choosing. U.S. schools are offering purely on a predicted IB score, without any regard for the final?</p>

<p>yes. you can literally fail your diploma, but as long as you finish high-school with a decent GPA, US colleges will still take you. You just wont get the credits.
US “conditional” offers, unlike UK ones, are based on your GPA, not your IB/AP scores.</p>

<p>S2’s IB program doesn’t send predicted IB scores unless specifically requested. I worked with someone this year whose list included Cornell and McGill this year. McGill wanted to see the predicted scores (for this student, based on last year’ scores and HS GPA, high 30s before TOK/EE bonus points). Student was rejected at McGill, got a likely letter at Cornell.</p>

<p>Noone at S2’s list of schools (which included Georgetown and W&M) asked for predicted scores.</p>

<p>If one failed the IB diploma, one might get a query from the college to which one intends to matriculate, but otherwise, how many points is irrelevant (except for scores on HL exams) to US schools.</p>
