<p>1) do adcoms only look at predicted grades offered by the school in your first ib year as your academic results at school?
2) If yes, then what is the use of the REAL ib score?
3) What range of scores do I have to get to get into YALE?
4) Do adcoms require ib students to state their ranking at school?
5) What ib schools are top in uk and us?
6) Is GCSE/ MYP or school exams results of any importance?</p>
<p>Firstly, I'm not sure about ANYTHING that I'm about to say - you should email your regional rep. or an adcom to get some real answers to your questions. That said, this is what I think/have seen someone else say:
1) They do look at your predicted grades (not sure if that's all though)
2) Your real IB score gets you course credits once you are at Yale
3) ??? Probably something pretty high - in the +90% area (although it'll be like SATs - i.e. there should be no cut-off score)
4) Ranking isn't a requirement, but if your school does rank, you should definitely put down your rank
5) No clue. In the UK a lot of schools use the A-level system though, so even though I can tell you a couple of really good schools, I don't know if they use the IB system. As for the US, I have less than no idea.
6) Don't know, but surely they'll want to see some grades that you ACTUALLY received (not just predicted grades), so maybe they will look at your GCSE results...</p>
<p>Hope that's been of some use, but like I said, the only way to get definitive answers is to get them from Yale itself!</p>
<p>6) i sent in the official statement of results for my igcses, because i want them to see them. but if they aren't on your transcript, i dont think they will ever see them.</p>
<p>If you're doing the entire IB diploma program, I would imagine that you would need an overall score of 40+... I know that Oxford expects at least 39, so Yale should probably have the same, if not tougher, requirements.</p>
<p>Unless you took the November exams, I can;t imagine teachers have already predicted scores. Predicted scores are in case the IBO loses all half the exam or something...it doesn't make sense to throw them out months before the exam although if you did November exams I guess you're done. For May 07 I don't see how Yale would get your predicted scores. </p>
<p>Maybe it's different for international students but I really don't think Yale needs your IB scores, unless you're allowed to submit them in the place of other testing. The use of the real IB score is for your diploma. Some schools (but no US schools really) have testing requirements where they do look at IB scores, but that shouldn't be the case with Yale I wouldn't think. I wouldn't send scores that aren't 6s or 7s. Also no matter how we may feel about them, SL courses carry little weight for US adcoms, most schools don't consider them on par with college coursework or whatever. </p>
<p>It might be best to ask the whatever regional officer is assigned to you at Yale because it sounds like the process for IB results for internationals is more important than for domestic students.</p>
<p>Well the IB is international, so I guess that US adcoms like to have something clear and simple to work with when they evaluate a student's academic achievements. This isn't always easy what with the huge curriculum differences from one country to the next. </p>
<p>I know that schools are supposed to give predicted grades, bud I don't know when. I think that Oxford requires predicted grades from all of its IB applicants. I remember reading somewhere that some universities, like Oxford, impose restrictions on their decision to admit an applicant. These restrictions are usually like a minimum score requirement in the IB.</p>
<p>If you want more comprehensive and knowledgeable info on the IB, go to <a href="http://www.ibscrewed.net%5B/url%5D">www.ibscrewed.net</a>. Post a question about predicted grades on their forums, and then tell us their answer!</p>
<p>Yale wants a 38 predicted w/o the bonus... with bonus... they don't care how much of the bonus you get. I spoke to the Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions about this personally and this is her official word on it.</p>
<p>Btw, if you want to know more about it, please email me at <a href="mailto:lunamaria01@gmail.com">lunamaria01@gmail.com</a> and put "IB Predicted Grades for Yale" as the subject. I'll be more than happy to lend you a hand, mkay? ;)</p>
