<p>ok well, wouldn't stating your projected/rough/assumed IB score be like... the most important part of determining whether an IB student will get in? (OR i'm just not familiar with the GPA stuff... IB point totals mean something to me tho and they will mean something to NYU too)</p>

<p>Thanks, Its really hard for me to predict what my scores will be, especially since it is IB. My teachers have told me that IB scores are not sent out until the summer after you graduate, meaning that I would have already been accepted or rejected by the time they get the scores. But then I've also heard that they do matter. I'm not sure what to believe. The only scores they will be able to see by the time I apply will be for physics, french, and economics beacuse I will test in those this year. Help?</p>
