IB Credit - how to obtain?

<p>Well, IB scores are out...</p>

<p>For my HL subjects, I got a:
7 for Econs = ECON 2010 (3 credits), ECON 2020 (3 credits)
6 for English = ENLT 2000T (3 credits); exempt from First Writing Requirement
6 for History = HIST 1000T (3 credits)</p>

<p>My scores should have been sent to the University or are being sent but how do I know that I have been approved the above credits and exemptions from my IB HL scores?</p>

<p>Also, what does 'T' stand for (e.g. 2000T/1000T?)</p>

<p>I'm only attending the international orientation session so I thought I would post here as to get a quicker response. Thank you :)</p>

<p>It’ll take a few weeks but your credit will appear in SIS under My Academics - Transfer Credit - Testing Credit subsection.</p>

<p>AP scores and credits for them have already been on where hazelorb said for a week, so I’m presuming that IB credits should be up there now, as well.</p>

<p>Oh sorry I forgot about</p>

<p>IB credit will show up in a while, but UVA is no where as good at giving IB credit as they are with AP, at least in SEAS that is.</p>

<p>T stands for elective credits. And you will get awarded credits for your IB subject as you scored at least a 6 in all of them. </p>

<p>Which international school did you attend?</p>

<p>The ENLT 2000T does not count as exemption from first year writing. I got the same credit for AP Lit, and I have to take an ENWR.</p>

<p>IB is different from AP - [International</a> College-level Exam Credit — Undergraduate, College of Arts & Sciences, U.Va.](<a href=“http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/college/admissions/international_exams.html#bac]International”>http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/college/admissions/international_exams.html#bac)</p>

<p>To be honest, the IB program is more rigorous than the AP’s and I feel like the University should award more credits for IB graduates. It’s ridiculous that someone who did AP can accumulate up to 30-60 credits, yet an IB graduate typically gets no more than 15.</p>

<p>Ignore what I said then. Lucky.</p>

<p>You only have to get a 700 on the writing part of the SAT - I say ‘only’ because when there was a writing SAT II, you had to get a 720.</p>

<p>It’s not that painful of a class, anyways, from what my roommate and others have told me - kind of annoying, but not like you’ll fail it or anything.</p>
