Applying to US (ivy league/top unis) with IB score in hand??

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey, I am a 16 year old (turning 17). I skipped 9th and 10th grade. I've just graduated and got 40/45 on the IB. I'm taking a gap year now and will be taking SATs (so far I have an 800 on Math 2) and applying throughout the gap year.</p>

<p>As a result, I will be applying to US universities with my IB score in hand, as opposed to with a predicted score. I want to get in to universities such as Harvard or MIT.</p>

<p>How do universities value actual IB scores in comparison with predicted scores? Also, how much, if at all, will the fact that I did the IB at a younger age contribute to my applications? </p>

<p>Do you think I have a good chance getting into such universities?</p>

<p>“How do universities value actual IB scores in comparison with predicted scores?” As you know, most IB candidates apply and are accepted/rejected without their IB scores in hand.</p>

<p>The fact that you have yours means Harvard will have more data and information by which to evaluate you. </p>

<p>NO ONE has a good chance of getting into such universities due to the sheer volume of excellent applicants.</p>
