<p>Greetings, fellow victim of the International Baccalaureate! Your IB scores are quite similar to mine but your class rank is much higher. I sure hope you'll get in cos it means I'll probably stand a similar chance as well. Good luck with your applications and with your results (Jan 6, I presume?)!</p>

<p>Hey!!! thanks, yea you too but im in the Northern Hemisphere so my externals are in May and i get the actual scores in early July.. I really hope we get accepted with these records, but they are subjective so I dont really know :( where are you from?</p>

<p>I'm from Singapore. Am part of the pioneer batch of IBDP students in my school but as my school is huge and Singaporean students generally work extremely hard so my class rank isn't that great, though I was predicted a 44 points. So are my extracurriculars but I'm hoping my uncommon essay (which is really on an incredibly uncommon topic!) would work for me. </p>

<p>Oh yes, do enjoy whats left of your second year! It sounds incredible, but you'll actually really miss your IB life when its over.</p>

<p>Did you calculate your GPA based on your IB scores?</p>

<p>Well its my cumulative GPA since sophomore year so id say yea IB did affect my GPA</p>
