<p>Does UW accept IB?</p>
<p>If you applied you’d definitely have a terrific chance at getting in, but I wouldn’t rely on UW as a safety school. It’s uncommon but Madison does reject people with terrific stats, activities and otherwise. Your safety school should be one that there’s zero chance of rejection (usually a non-flagship, public branch school).</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure Madison accepts IB, though that’s something you can find pretty quickly by googling it or through looking on the admissions site.</p>
<p>Thank you badger2012! By the way, how would you know? Do you go to UW?</p>
<p>I do indeed=)</p>
<p>Btw, if you didn’t google itself yourself already, I did since I was curious:</p>

<p>Yeah I did look it up!</p>
<p>So what do you major in? And stats? I’m considering schools on the lines of NYU and Georgetown, if I can even better - possibly Ivies.</p>
<p>I’m a history major, though I was a Comp Sci major at one point and might be again, but that’s another story xD. My stats don’t really count because I’m a transfer student (who slacked off in high school and then got it together at my previous college).</p>
<p>Good luck in your applications! Don’t forget about UW though which is a great school, especially if you are considering a science related major. UW is a top 10 school in the nation in science.</p>
