<p>wait…Actually I’m a bit confused…:s</p>
<p>Are you attending a school outside of the U.S.? If so, I can’t answer your question. You’ll probably get more informed answers on the international board.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your answers!</p>
<p>I.won, NSM is right. Your report card will show letter grades. Your IB scores will be #'s, much like if you took an AP test, but you still get a letter grade for the class. Are you sure Stanford even asks for IB scores? They will want your final transcript, but are your IB scores even on it, considering the scores come out much later into the summer after school has ended?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Uh oh, where does the OP live? Failing the IB is a felony in Montgomery County MD, Marin County CA, and most of Northern Virginia.</p>
<p>OP you’ll be fine. Before they rescind they’d at first send a concerned letter, which you probably won’t receive. If by some chance you get that, I’d just tell them that this was the first year your high school did IB. Colleges don’t go looking for reasons to rescind-you have to give them a big one.</p>
<p>Your IB courses are just like AP courses. At a certain point, classes stop and your grades for your CLASSES are finalized. That’s what matters. Not the tests you take several weeks after your classes end.</p>
<p>Unless you are an international and IB exams equate with passing your courses, Stanford does not ask for or see your IB transcript unless you send it for them to grant credit. Same with AP. If your do not care about college credit and or placement, do not send your IB or AP scores. Stanford will not care. That being said, 32 and 35 are wonderful totals and in no way are the source for any concern about rescinding. You only need 24 for the diploma. 6s and 5s are great. Yes Stanford will not give you credit for 5s but they only give credit for HLs anyway and even those are limited to a very few subjects. So OP you are safe. Even if your go to a school where the IB exam is your final grade for the course, you passed all.</p>
<p>I think it’s important to emphasize here that there can be big differences between IB in the U.S. and in other countries.
If you go to a high school in the U.S. that has IB, typically you will also receive letter grades in your classes, and it is these grades that are sent to U.S. colleges. At my son’s IB school, as far as I know predicted IB scores were not sent anywhere–and we don’t even know what they were, assuming they were ever calculated. While I believe the school does send the final IB scores to colleges, they are not going to rescind anybody based on those scores if the final letter grades were OK.
In other countries, predicted and final scores play a much bigger role. Foreign universities will give conditional acceptance based on predicted scores, and if the final scores aren’t within a certain range, acceptance can be rescinded.
The question that’s harder to answer is how a U.S. university deals with an international student who has no grades other than the IB scores. I think that theoretically a big difference could lead to a letter of concern or even a withdrawal of acceptance for such a student–but I suspect there’d have to be a big difference, such as not getting the diploma at all, perhaps.</p>
<p>Northstarmom, some schools have IB scores as grades. So you are mistaken there, albeit some have them for placement in college.</p>
<p>
Are there any IB schools in the US that do this? If so, they are in the small minority.</p>
<p>But whether I have IB scores as grades or placements, would I still be considered safe at the moment? Or am I at risk?</p>
<p>keep silence if you receive nothing from Stanford.
stop worrying, it doesn’t help anything.</p>
<p>LOL…Ok…thank you for the positive attitude</p>
<p>Let me repeat, you are safe. It’s been like 5 days. They would’ve called you to “explain” yourself by now if there were a problem.</p>
<p>Would they have received the results and reviewed them ALREADY?? Whoa… that’d be fast…</p>
<p>stop worrying, you are fine!</p>
