Depends on your finances. What can you afford?
You will need to check w/ each school on those IB credits - most of them will give you credit for 5,6, and 7’s - not sure about 3’s and 4’s…maybe 4’s…doubtful you would get credit for a 3.
I have the money to pay full tuition - no financial aid required. Also I’m a US citizen - currently living outside US - if that helps.
What sort of school are you attending? US curriculum international school? Local school that offers IB? What is the language of instruction? How long have you been in that country? Where do their graduates usually go, abd what has the college placement team there recommended for you?
Depending on your current country of residence, the US State Department supported advising center is either an EducationUSA office or an AMIDEAST office. The counselors there are likely to have experience with students like you who are citizens educated abroad.
Are you American or international?
What is your budget?
I have budget upwards of $60k/year
I’m currently in New Delhi, India for last five years – moved here from US – my school has placements in most ivy leagues - British system + IB at my school. Im a US citizen
For best quality of undergraduate education, you probably have a shot at LACs ranked 60+: Lawrence, Beloit, Wooster, Hobart-and-William Smith, Muhlenberg, Earlham, Kalamazoo…) Those ranked 50-59 may be reachable reaches.
Regional Universities are a good bet too, especially in the Midwest which is suffering from a decrease in youth demographics. Think Butler, Drake…
If you want larger universities, UNC Wilmington, Appalachian state, Towson, Montana State, UWisconsin LaCrosse or Eau Claire, SUNY Albany, probably Penn State if you apply DUS and summer session, Iowa state…
