<p>Do universities take into account your points and grades for Theory of Knowledge and Extended Essay? </p>
<p>(In the IB diploma, candidates are given a score out of 42 for their subject grades, and 3 bonus points depending on how well they do in their TOK and EE)</p>
<p>Is it worse to drop a point from the tok and ee, or from one of the 6 subjects?</p>
<p>Schools are not going to know of your TOK or EE score. For that matter, you don’t even get your final IB score until months after you are accepted to colleges. Schools will see you are an IB candidate and take that into consideration for rigour of courses.</p>
<p>Yes, but schools will see a predicted score given by my highschool teachers in lieu of actual scores since the exams are at the end of senior year. They will give a predicted EE score based on the draft EE we hand in to our teachers, and also a predicted TOK score based on class essays and the oral presentation taken at the end of junior year, which is worth around 30% of the final TOK grade.</p>

<p>More information - I will not have a g.p.a when I apply - I am a US citizen living abroad</p>
<p>Doubtful that they care, especially when it’s so hard to get credit even for 7’s in HL’s. I’m sure they matter to some infinitesimal degree, but given that they are predicteds, and your personality and writing ability should come out in your application essays anyways.</p>
<p>if they don’t care about predicted grades, then how the heck will they know about my academic performance, apart from standardized testing scores?</p>
<p>Well, your GPA - which you don’t have. That’s something you need to talk with them about, see if you can somehow give them your grades or something (which should be unrelated to your nationality). Perhaps in a counselor letter?</p>
<p>They don’t care about your score.
I did hear that some kids got their research published, so that might help you in admissions. If you’re able to use anything you’ve learned in TOK to analytically reflect on an experience in an essay, that might help you, too. But other than that, I don’t believe colleges acknowledge TOK/EE stuff.</p>
