You are considered Pre-IB with direct admit status. As the admissions counselor stated, most students apply to the IB program the spring of their Sophomore year. As a direct admit, you will need to meet the requirements, but you do not have to fill out the competitive application. The requirements for applying during the Spring 2014 semester for the Fall 2014 IB class are the following: 45 College Credits, 3.50 USC GPA, Completion Prior to Fall 2014 of the following 6 Courses (Econ 221 & 222, Acct 225 & 226, MGSC 290 & 291), progression towards the language requirement since IB Majors need at least four 300 Level Language Classes to graduate).

The targeted Fall 2014 IB Class is 120 students. In prior years, approximately 50 were competitive admits. For 2014, they thought that there would be more direct admits and fewer competitive admits. In addition, students in the Cohort Programs (IBCE, IBA) do not count towards the overall class size.

Therefore, during your Freshman and Sophomore years, you will be taking Carolina Core, Business Core and Language classes in preparation of entering IB as a junior.

In order to be a Direct Admit as a Freshman, students need to list IB as their intended major and be one of the following: Carolina or McNair Finalist, Honors College or Capstone Scholar.
