<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 SWARTHMORE?</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 to adcoms?</p>
<p>3) There is no set number (as for everything.) That said, if they are quite low, it would take some remarkable other features to pull off an acceptance.</p>
<p>4) They don't require class rank of any other type, so I can't think why</p>
<p>Those are the only two for which I can even guess an answer.</p>
<p>1) The admissions committee doesn't look at any one feature as "the only academic aspect." Your predicted grades, if they show up on your transcript at all, will be taken into consideration. </p>
<p>2) Your real cumulative IB score won't matter. What will matter are the grades you get on the individual exams, but only the higher level ones, which will determine how many credits you can get. </p>
<p>3) Swarthmore does not have a required level of IB points to get in. That being said, if you aren't expected to do well enough on the exams to get the diploma (32/45), then you would need some other good factors to make up for that. They will not revoke your acceptance if you are admitted and then don't achieve your predicted scores.</p>
<p>4) Not required. If you've got it and it's good, then it's helpful.</p>
<p>5) Can't tell you that one. Not sure why you want to know...</p>
<p>6) Also clueless.</p>
<p>Swarthmore is not as generous with granting IB credits after you're admitted as many other schools (at Bryn Mawr, for example, you can get a whole year's worth of credits for a 32). You will only get credit for your higher levels, and then only if they're 6-7. </p>
<p>I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the IB to Swarthmore experience.</p>
