IB Score

Applying to College

<p>What would you say is a strong IB predicted score for Ivies and top American schools? Although some universities in states don't care about predicted grades, I do know most Unis will take IB predicted results into account.</p>

<p>Was just wondering what a competitive score out of 45 would be. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>So unless I’m mistaken IB has 6 exams x 7 max score = 42 max exam score plus 3 for extended essay and CAS is just a completed or didn’t complete. Maybe there’s bonus point or 2 for an particularly good extended essay. So . . . how do you even get higher than at 45? More importantly though, have you taken IB exams already? If so, did you report those scores on your common app? In US most kids can only take 2 SL exams Junior year, then take remaining exams 3-4 HL at the end of senior year. My D reported all her AP scores, but didn’t even report the 2 IB SL exams (6 and 7) because SL doesn’t count for college credit or placement. How does one even get a predicted score if the exams haven’t been taken yet? It sounds like the kids who say, “What are my chances at Harvard - I have a 4.2 GPA and I’m aiming for at least 2300 on my SAT.”</p>

<p>cliffhanger33, when a Harvard admissions guy came to my school, I asked him a similar question and he said that a competitive score is anything from a 39 above including the 3 points from the extended essay, etc.</p>

<p>Of course, this would be for your predicted score.</p>

<p>You don’t need to provide a predicted score. They don’t really care all that much. I attended an all-IB diploma school, and predicted scores were only generated for students applying abroad. We had numerous Ivy acceptances without <em>any</em> predicted IB scores.</p>

<p>However I’m applying from Canada to NYU
Which asksfor IB diplpmav predicted scores for their standardized testing</p>

<p>Was wondering what a competitive mark was, Coz They don’t spewhat what’s competitive</p>
