Hi guys, I am currently doing IB diploma in Dubai. I am taking my IB final exams on next week. I am really worry that I will fail my diploma right now. I already made my deposit to Northeastern University. Will they rescind my offer if I don’t pass the IB??

I am only doing IB diploma and the transcript I sent to the universities were using my IB scores from my previous internal tests. I learnt from some thread that if you are doing IB diploma in United States (since for most of the schools, IB is optional) and still get a good GPA, it will be fine. However, I did not take any other course besides IB courses so my GPA depends on my performance on my ib exams…

So… If I screw up my final IB exams and do not award a diploma, will it jeopardize my admission ?? Thank you for reading:) I really need some help here!!

As long as you title receive a diploma for completing high school, I think you will be OK. A friend from high school didn’t get her IB diploma and it didn’t cause any trouble with the University, but this was also coming from a US high school. Since your GPA is determined by your IB grades, it might be a bit more significant. Unless you fail a number of them, I don’t think it I’ll be a problem, but it’s not a typical scenario.

@nanotechnology Thank you. My friend told me as long as I can explain it, I will be fine. But I still a little bit concerned.

You could try contacting admissions directly. Worst case scenario they can’t tell you anything helpful.
