Does U.Va. recognize the IB diploma?
In general, students who earn scores of 5, 6, or 7 on the IB Higher Level examinations receive credit and place out of lower-level courses. For admission purposes, we assume that students pursuing a full IB diploma are taking the toughest academic program available to them and that, as we say above, is what the Committee on Admission generally wants to see. More information about IB credits in the College of Arts and Sciences please see: The College of Arts and Sciences IB Policy.
