Help! Ib Questions

<p>1) do adcoms only look at predicted grades offered by the school in your first ib year AS THE ONLY ACADEMIC ASPECT ?</p>

<p>2) If yes, then what is the use of the REAL ib score?</p>

<p>3) How many IB points do I need get into UCHICAGO?</p>

<p>4) Do adcoms require ib students to state their ranking/postion at school?</p>

<p>5) What ib schools are top in uk and us?</p>

<p>6) Is GCSE/MYP/IGCSE of any importance?</p>

<p>1) No, other aspects include: Rigor of courses, Essays, Recommendations, GPA/Rank, personal qualities, SAT, etc. I think predicted IB scores fall into the GPA/Rank category.</p>

<p>2) To give credit for scores of 6 or 7 on HL exams. No credit is offered for Math, Physics, and computer science.</p>

<p>3) There is no cutoff for IB scores. Chicago uses a holisitic approach to admissions.</p>

<p>4) If it shows up on your transcript, yes. If not, no.</p>

<p>5) I do not understand.</p>

<p>6) They will help in the admissions process, but will not automatically qualify or disqualify you by itself. You should ask the counselor for international admissions.</p>

<p>I was also wondering about this... sine it is hard to compare a GPA to an IB score. Has anyone who takes IB been rejected / deferred/ accepted from Chicago this year? If so, what were you IB totals? I am basically looking for ballpark numbers.</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>sadiqhassan, are you an international applicant? Most IBers in the US have a GPA; IB results are entirely separate. Anyway, a total of 32-40 would probably be within Chicago's range.</p>

<p>hi,</p>

<p>yes I am an international applicant. I currently have a 40, so fingers crossed for Chicago :)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
