How do colleges view the IB for admissions purposes?
Many colleges recognize the breadth, depth and international components of the IB that make a WIS student more than prepared for college work. However, “prepared” does not mean “competitive” for admission purposes at all universities. The more selective the institution, the more demanding its expectations in terms of course work, grades, interests and activities. The most competitive colleges expect students to take the most demanding course load they can, while still maintaining their grades and outside interests.
