Is it better to have high grades in the traditional program or okay grades in IB?
A. Please refer to College Admissions & the IB Student. Q. How important is the IB diploma to colleges when deciding whether or not to accept a student? A. What is important to colleges is the rigor of a student’s courses. The IB curriculum represents the highest level of rigor of any high school program. Remember that you will have been accepted by colleges many months before the results of the IB exams become available. Your college acceptance is based upon your academic performance in 9th through 11th grades, and the promise of successful completion of 12th grade. Of course, solid scores on college entrance exams are also important.
