<p>I am applying NYU ED and submitting my predicted IB (International Baccalaureate) grades, which is 41. </p>
<p>NYU says in its webiste "NYU reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission if final results are not within close range of the predicted results."</p>
<p>In case I am admitted with such grades (thou I am pretty doubtful) I would like to now how predicted IB grades may vary from the real grades? Not that I am unsure, but they may vary due to some kind of worry and lack of time during exam.
I will receive the results during mid July. So if I get for example 40 or 39 (or 38) points and I receive them in July, will they really withdraw my admission month before studies?</p>
<p>They want to warn people off from falling off the academic cliff with a bout of major senioritis. Basically, don’t fail or sink broadly. They aren’t here to pull the rug out from under you – if they admit, they fully WANT you. </p>
<p>But they will punish you if you don’t take your academics with a modicum of seriousness. They can understand a small drop off – just don’t take a brain vacation.</p>
<p>Check with your IB Coordinator to see how predicted grades have matched up with final grades in the past at your school. This is a statistic they track, and schools are reprimanded by IB if there’s too much of a discrepancy (either too high or too low). Some teachers have more experience & are better with predictions, but there have also been some curriculum changes in some IB courses which could also affect final outcomes. As far as what NYU will accept & whether they’d withdraw admission for a 3-pt or 5-pt variation, it’s best to check with them directly.</p>
