UCSD Rescind situation

Colleges & Universities University of California - San Diego

My daughter accepted her admit from UCSD and now the her transcripts (9-12) are under review. Couple of days back she received her IBDP results and she will not be getting the diploma. She has received her college diploma and senior year she all subjects grade 4 and above. While checking her conditional offer it mentions IB students must get all 4 and above in all subjects.
In her last 2 years in IB classes and exams (semesters - 4). Only in 1 st year she has two 3s. And she has always 4 and above. Do IB result/score impact the admission offer. Please share your views.

No they shouldn’t. IB is for the credit on courses not for admissions. She graduated and that’s what’s important

Thank you so much, a big relief…

Opposite POV. Original Poster mentions:

UC’s take the conditional offer seriously. While IB results generally don’t matter for domestic applicants, they do greatly matter for international applicants.

5

So do you mean they can rescind admission with some with 4 also…do you suggest any action to be taken

If the 3 was on the application, then she was accepted despite the 3. The conditional acceptance applies to grades and scores received after the application was submitted.

No preemptive communication is necessary. If they communicate to her, she will be expected to respond.

IB diploma is different. If they consider it just like A levels she could get in as a sophomore with the credits she gets the 4 in all classes… most schools will have a minimum requirement. IB is an add on and not part of the high school graduation. Both my kids were in an IB school and this goes for AP credit too. They had to get a 4 to get the credits.

Let’s wait and see from the university
