<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I know that the University of Florida really likes IB students and accepts a lot of them. What other universities/LACs love IB students and accept them in the bundles. I am looking at top 35 universities/LACs.... Please suggest some.</p>
<p>No college prefers IB students over AP students. They are looked at equally, assuming two candidates for each program are each doing “the most rigorous course load” (IE, IB diploma vs AP scholar or whatever).</p>
<p>But AP students get their benefit of supposedly learning from US-standards, while us IB students get a genuine learning experience rather than just preping us for some exam at the end of the year (no no, that comes senior year from two years of ****ing hard work!).</p>
<p>Actually, poseidenj, I was told by someone who worked in an admissions office for ten years recruiting inner city kids that IB was clearly preferred.</p>
<p>I know at Brown, IB Higher will get you credit AP simply will not, so I imagine that the respect the IB degree has amongst faculty trickles into the admissions office as well.</p>
<p>I think that most top schools like IB-- it’s clearly a challenge and a demonstration of prep for college lever work and I wish my high school had offered it.</p>
<p>^At basically all schools, HL credit is given, not SL. I know schools like the New College of Florida and Oregon State love IB kids (I believe OSU gives you course credit if you get a 3 on an exam) but they’re obviously not top 35. The better schools usually have no preference between AP and IB.</p>
<p>Actually UF has changed its view and no longer is IB a guarantee of admission. Similarly it no longer is focused on recruiting NMFs.</p>
<p>On a similar note, I know that some schools offer scholarships and/or sophmore status for Diploma students above a certain combined score. Anyone know what some of these are?</p>
