Do IB marks matter for medical school?

Applying to College

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I was just wondering whether or not my IB marks will matter for getting into medical school, even if I don't use them to get undergraduate course credits next year. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>They would only matter if you were applying to a six-year BS/MD program.</p>

<p>Ahhh ok thanks! So my IB results don’t matter at all considering that I will only be entering med school (if I get in) after completing 4 years of undergraduate studies?</p>

<p>The only issue is that you can’t use terrific advanced placement/IB results to place out of the pre-reqs. So even if you get a year of college credit for, say, biology, you would still need to take a year of bio (albeit at a higher level). You’d probably do that anyway so your IB results won’t matter.</p>

<p>If your IB results were weak, it doesn’t matter at all. No one will ever see them.</p>
