[quote=Anonymous]We plan to have our eldest, who is at W-L in the IBD program, apply to UK and Canadian universities from a gap year with all IB and a few AP exam scores in hand.

If you look on the web sites of UK universities under admissions, you can find info about which IB and AP scores they're looking for in which subjects for admissions, along with the kind of volunteer and work experience they want to see. This info tends to be v. specific, e.g. IB scores of 6-7 in Bio and Chem and a third subject to apply for veterinary or medical programs.

We know that "predicted" IB exam scores provided by teachers that most American applicants rely on in applying to colleges at home and universities abroad don't carry the same weight as actual scores in admissions, so we're going to wait to apply to colleges from a gap year.

Our kid wants to train as a vet tech during the gap year while applying to vet programs abroad (many vet programs abroad confer certification that works in the US).  [/quote]
