I believe if you score a 24-35 in the IBDP, you are granted 4 credits or one semester. If you score 36 or better, you are granted 8 credits (full year).

Why would you want to do that? To potentially save thousands of dollars would be my #1 reason. #2 reason would be to use your fourth year to complete the Masters program.

There are some schools with set 3 year programs ~ Bates comes to mind. Other schools that give decent IB/AP credit are Mount Holyoke and Barnard.

And FWIW, I would disagree that 5 classes per semester is too difficult for most motivated students, assuming you are able to balance the courses with most difficulty with those you may find easier.
