<p>IB may help you get admitted to some colleges, and it certainly provides excellent preparation for college, but getting credit for IB courses may be a different matter.</p>
<p>My daughter was an IB Diploma graduate. She went to Cornell, where she got no credit whatsoever for her IB courses, even though she had 6s or 7s on all the exams. She also took 8 AP exams, got 4s or 5s on all of them, and got credit for most, for a total of 30 credits. (Some of the AP exams were taken at the end of IB courses – a trick some kids use to get credit in situations where they otherwise would not.)</p>
<p>This may not be a representative example.</p>
