<p>Currently, I am an IB senior finishing up high school, and I'm attending the University of Chicago in the fall. I'll be studying Computer Science.</p>
<p>I'd like to know whether or not to report my IB scores to UChicago once they've come out in July. According to the UChicago website, no IB credit can be awarded to students in the Computer Science department at UChicago. Additionally, if the Computer Science interest doesn't work out, I'll be studying in the Physics or Mathematics departments, neither of which recognize IB scores for any sort of credit.</p>
<p>Thus, should I report my scores to UChicago? Will it serve any purpose? Is it necessary? Thanks!</p>
<p>Sending IB scores can confer credit in other areas. See here for a comprehensive (if a little convoluted) list: [International</a> Baccalaureate Programme | The College](<a href=“http://college.uchicago.edu/newstudents/2010-2011/examination-credit-and-transfer-credit/international-baccalaureate-programme]International”>http://college.uchicago.edu/newstudents/2010-2011/examination-credit-and-transfer-credit/international-baccalaureate-programme)</p>
<p>You will receive an updated list of credit information over the summer, but you can use this as a general guideline. You will be able to discuss all of the possibilities for credit transfer with your college adviser during orientation week, so it can’t hurt to send in your IB scores, even if they won’t confer credit in your particular area of study. You may wind up with credit from other HL tests you’ve taken, or elective credit.</p>
<p>And if, for any reason, I do not meet the guidelines to receive my IB diploma, will my admission to UChicago be jeopardized?</p>
<p>I don’t think so. I got a predicted grade of 41/45 and bombed all of my IB exams. They never asked for my IB scores…</p>
<p>And did your school not require that you send UChicago any scores before you took the exams?</p>
<p>I did request score reports to be sent to UChicago. My advisor never mentioned my IB scores.</p>
<p>Excellent. Thank you!</p>
