How well does NYU recognize the IB Diploma program? Do they offer additional scholarships/grants to students who score well on the exams? NYU is my dream school and I have worked very hard academically ;
33 ACT
3.9 GPA
I am just trying to find out additional ways to cut the cost down
They weigh it as much as AP courses/exams. Good scores will show that you are intelligent and more qualified than those with the same scores without taking IB/AP courses. This doesn’t directly translate into higher scholarships, but it should play a major role in the admissions process.
Former IB student here. I haven’t heard of any scholarships for IB diploma recipients, so I don’t think there are any. However, it will look very favorable on your application (I believe my IB experience was one of the things that got me in), and high scores on your HL exams will allow you to get credit for equivalent classes here so that means less classes you’ll have to take and less time you’ll be spending paying for tuition.
