Need to send IB scores to Cornell?

<p>If we're an IB Diploma student, do we need to send our IB scores to Cornell even if we do not wish to place out of any courses?</p>

<p>If you told your IB counselor where you were attending college, they should be taking care of sending the scores anyway.</p>

<p>And I would guess also that if you are not planning to use the tests for credit, no scores would be needed as that is all they are good for.</p>

<p>you should have filled out a form (at your high school) which indicated the schools to which IB will send their scores
but even if you don’t want credits, i’m guessing the college would still want to see your final results</p>

<p>what the users said above…</p>

<p>just out of curiosity - why wouldn’t you want to get any credits ?</p>

<p>No, you don’t have to send them.</p>

<p>My daughter is a rising junior at Cornell. She has an IB diploma. She never sent her IB scores to Cornell because they would not have given her any credit beyond what she had already received on the basis of her AP scores – which she did send. Cornell has never asked for her IB scores. If they haven’t asked by now, I think it’s pretty certain that they never will.</p>

<p>Maybe she was excempt because of AP?</p>

<p>I don’t think there’s anything to be exempt from.</p>

<p>Cornell requires a final transcript from your high school. It does not require you to send AP or IB scores. Of course, Cornell isn’t going to give you credit on the basis of your AP or IB scores unless you do have the scores sent, but if you’re not eligible for credit, there doesn’t seem to be any reason to go to the trouble and expense of having them sent.</p>

<p>My daughter saw no point in sending her IB scores to Cornell because Cornell doesn’t give credit for IB scores in two of her HL subjects, and she already had credit in the third subject from an AP exam. If Cornell ever asks for her IB scores, she can still have them sent. But it has been 2 years, and nobody has asked.</p>
