[quote=Anonymous]Would love feedback on whether you have a DC who did the full IB diploma or know someone who got the diploma and you think it had a positive effect on their admissions. While it is not easy to get all A's in High School we definitely know some very bright (but by no means genius) kids who are getting A's in all their classes. For the IB diploma, a 7 is the highest grade (and I guess a functional equivalent of an A) but one would have to be a true genius to get 7's for all of their IB diploma classes. Most of the excellent students end up with a combination of 7's and 6's. This would be the equivalent of A's and B's in High School which I know does not get you in a top school today. So do admission's officers take the difficult grading of the IB system into account? BTW - DC's counselor, of course, says admissions takes this into account but would love some outside and hopefully unbiased feedback also. [/quote]
