<p>How does UVA count the credits for the IB courses taken in highschool? Is it based on the scores on the exams? Any clarification would be great...thanks :)</p>
<p>UVA only gives credits for HL courses (which kind of stinks- all those SLs for nothing!) According to the website:</p>
<p>"Does U.Va. recognize the IB diploma?
In general, students who earn scores of 5, 6, or 7 on the IB Higher Level examinations receive credit and place out of lower-level courses. For admission purposes, we assume that students pursuing a full IB diploma are taking the toughest academic program available to them and that, as we say above, is what the Committee on Admission generally wants to see.</p>
<p>More information about IB credits in the College of Arts and Sciences please see: The College of Arts and Sciences IB Policy."</p>
