<p>IB Diploma Applicants:</p>
<p>Most of us know that acceptance rates for IB diploma applicants is much higher, sometimes double at some colleges. I thought it would be interesting for the IB diploma applicants to post the schools to which they applied. After decisions are received, we can then post our results to see how the IB group did.</p>

<p>others at my school:</p>
<p>All deferred from princeton, mit, etc (we have 3 valedictorians in my school because my IB school is made of 3 different highschools and every single one was deferred with 2200+ SAT's) except one of the vals got a full ride to colgate.</p>

They're still ED, right? I thought you could only ED to one school, whether it's I or II.</p>
<p>I've been accepted to SMU Meadows (Theatre) ,USC Theatre, SUNY Purchase (also Theatre), and Drew. I'm interviewing for full tuition for SMU and USC and I received some smaller scholarships at the other two. I'm still waiting for Princeton, Columbia, Sarah Lawrence, and Barnard.</p>
<p>At my school...let me think... The IBers were relatively screwed over</p>
<p>Harvard: 1 accepted, 1 deferred
Yale: 1 accepted, 2 deferred, 1 rejected
Stanford: 1 accepted, 2 rejected
Brown: 1 deferred
Columbia: 1 deferred
MIT: 1 deferred
Rice: 2 accepted, 2 deferred
Caltech: 1 deferred</p>
<p>Of course, there were a lot more colleges, but those are the "elite" ones I remember.</p>
<p>Im not a full ib diploma but im a IB certificate meaning that i have all ib except for math...do i still have a high rate of acceptance like the full ib diplomas?</p>
<p>IB Certificate still shows you took hard classes and exams. I think the only main difference will be that you won't get as much college credit (unless you took the APs) or you won't get as much scholarship money at smaller, less selective colleges. As for admissions, maybe you'll lose the edge against someone whose statistics are very similar to yours, except they are full diploma.</p>
<p>Generally speaking IB Diploma gets more of an advantage than IB Certificate. I don't really think there would be <em>that</em> much difference, though.</p>
<p>Accepted at: Duke (with $), U Chicago (with $), Johns Hopkins (with $), Wake Forest (with $$$), UNC Chapel Hill (with $), and Davidson.</p>
<p>EA Georgetown - deferred (along with 3 other full ib'ers from my school)
ID Rice - accepted (along with one other full ib'er)
USC - accepted with scholarship interview (5 others accepted)
Duke - pending
Stanford - pending
Dartmouth - pending
Penn (wharton) - pending
Claremont Mckenna - pending (one rejected ED II)</p>
<p>Sadly the non full ib'ers have done better at my school (one to yale, one to stanford)</p>
<p>hmm.. let's see.. i got rejected from stanford, accepted to TCNJ (but with no money), UIUC on a full ride, and U of Rochester</p>
<p>the rest of my IB class is mostly slackers so all we have is one georgetown school of foreign services, one swarthmore and one GW.. but we only have 15 ppl in the class</p>
<p>I'm still waiting on all my apps...
Harvard EA - deferred
McGill, UBC, Queen's, Ottawa - still waiting</p>
<p>The major canadian universities haven't sent out anything yet, but I have a couple friends who got into US unis... one at Penn and one at Cornell.</p>
<p>I go to an all-IB high school with 75 students in the class of '06. Some acceptances so far (I don't know about rejections or deferrals):</p>
<p>1: MIT EA, Stanford (I guess he was notified early?)
2: Stanford EA
3: Harvard EA
4: Swarthmore ED</p>
<p>I'm sure there are others that I haven't heard about.</p>

I mailed the EDII application after I heard from the EDI school. If you aren't accepted ED, you're released from the binding contract. The rules state that one cannot be an ED candidate at two schools at the same time, and I was not.</p>
<p>How can you take 9 classes in one semester? Are some done via video or on-line? Seven at my school is a full schedule, no time for anymore.</p>
<p>wow. I wish I had known that IB even existed before I found CC. Then I might have stood a chance.</p>
