<p>I was accepted ED but I am worried that my IB "predicted" scores will be much higher than my actual scores. I have 2 questions:
1) Do I have to submit my scores if I am a diploma candidate?
2) What will happen if I am predicted, say, a 37, but actually get, say, a 30?</p>
<p>Lol. I doubt they'll rescind your acceptance in July (when IB scores come out).</p>
<p>So stop worrying :P</p>
<p>I don't even think my school reports predicted IB scores to universities. Regardless, I doubt if you didn't even get the IB diploma (hard to imagine) that they would take back their admission decision. You've already proved yourself to them. :) (Hopefully I can now =p)</p>
<p>IB scores only matter if you're looking for college credit.</p>
<p>and penn barely gives any of that out</p>
<p>It does, however, demonstrate academic interest.</p>
<p>Say I don't even get the IB diploma. That won't get me rescinded, will it?</p>
<p>Cooledge,
It might, it might not. But if you got into Penn, not getting the Diploma is not an option. Just don't do it :)</p>
<p>Some UCAS school accept students on condition. If they get 38 on the IB.
Having different grades from what your teachers predicted is not a big deal as long as you get your diploma. Universities understand that during the exam, students are stressed and can have other emotional problems. They understand that you might not do as well as the teacher said.</p>
<p>Well It says upon receipt of high school diploma or something equivalent - so might as well get the diploma even if your levels drop
I'm in the same situation. I really really want to drop french but I might as well go through with the exam. (Penn knows I got predicted a 4 before they accepted me =P)</p>
<p>First, I think I ought to describe the situation at my school. We don't release predicted scores, and we also get a separate high school diploma.
Also, there's a chance that I might not get my diploma due to a horrid Math HL score, French SL score, or all of the above. This is because I didn't exactly study crazy hard for them. I found out that the only credit I can get from Penn is for Chemistry, so that's the only one I cared about.
Have any of you heard of a person getting rescinded based on something like that?</p>
<p>What is considered a good IB Score?</p>
<p>A 4 is a passing score, 5 is good, and a 6 or 7 is great.
Just for reference, on (some) HL exams Penn gives credit for mostly 6's and 7's, and 5's in a couple of cases.</p>
<p>what were your predicteds and term grades for IB? I would just like to know what was accepted for ED at Upenn. Thanks :)</p>
