<p>Are there any top 50 universities that are known to have a reputation for accepting IB Diploma candidates. I know many schools look at the entire HS picture and which curriculum is offered. Many consider IB in the same classification as AP courses. I have heard that a small number of schools show some preference for IB Diploma candidates in the admissions process.</p>
<p>Obviously, the curriculum is only one component of the application.</p>
<p>UBC in canada and u of tulsa</p>
<p>University of Florida</p>
<p>You might want to go visit the page: <a href="http://www.ibo.org/ibo/index.cfm?page=/ibo/services/universities/scholarships&language=EN%5B/url%5D">http://www.ibo.org/ibo/index.cfm?page=/ibo/services/universities/scholarships&language=EN</a>. It has the list of universities that offer IB Diploma students scholarships. However, unsure if it's a total and complete list.</p>
<p>And it appears Uni of Florida only gives scholarships to IB students from United World Colleges. So does Carleton, I think...</p>
<p>Juniata College, I know, for one, offers sophomore standing to IB Diploma students who get 30+ points.</p>
<p>Georgia schools are IB-friendly. Duke is also fairly IB-preferential. I've heard Yale and Boston U are also IB-friendly, but I don't have proof.</p>
<p>Harvard is IB-friendly. I'm almost sure it was Columbia, but when the admissions rep visited our school she told us that Columbia recognizes that the rigor of the IB program exceeds that of a bunch of AP courses.</p>
<p>It might have been some other school. But more and more colleges are choosing to recognize that IB>AP.</p>
<p>Too bad most of them only give credit for HL courses...</p>
<p>Excellent... I'm applying early to Columbia, so hopefully my IB will help.</p>
