I’m currently an IB student, completing my final year of the IB diploma. I need some guidance regarding to the colleges I’m applying to.
My 1st year mid-term IB grades were:
Psychology HL 7
English Lang and Lit SL 6
French AB Intio SL 7
Visual Art HL 5
Biology HL 5
Math SL 3 [I know:( ]
My final 1st year IB grades were:
Psychology HL 6
English Lang and Lit SL 6
French Ab intio SL 6
Visual Art HL 6
Math SL 4
Biology HL 5
And we will get our predicted grades soon
Apart from Math scores, I believe my IB grades are of a good level. However, my 9th and 10th grade results weren’t good unfortunately. I got 2 A’s, 5 B’s, 2 C’s
But since IB, my grades have improved tremendously. I’m just really worried about my 9th and 10th grade results. I feel as if I won’t get admission into reputable universities because of of 9th and 10th grades.
I’ve also participated in a number of activities:
I did volunteer work in 2013 and 2014 at a local community college. Taught underprivileged children there
Did a Psychology internship at a hospital during my summer break
Am currently a student at a small music academy. I’m learning guitar further. On intermediate level currently.
Was a member of a host team in a model united nation
Won a debate in 9th grade
and have a couple of more
Is taking the full IB diploma an advantage to me?
I will be giving my SAT in December too
This is my college list:
Barnard
Bryn Mawr
Amherst
Swarthmore
Haverford
NYU
Rochester
Wellesley
John Hopkins
So I’m a little unmotivated right now, and would really appreciate your help from anyone who goes to these schools, or has applied to.
Thank you in advance
