[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if I understand the acceptances listed; everyone has astonishingly high GPAS and ECs and everyone accepted submitted their scores, correct?[/quote]

From NOVA -yes! [/quote]

My kid did applied test optional, FWIW. Accepted with 4.36 (as of the end of junior year). [b]Hasn’t had much ECs in HS[/b] (travel soccer outside of HS). IB diploma probably weighed heavily in his favor.[/quote]

Is that true about full IB? We only had a chance to visit a couple of schools pre-COVID, and while the reps had positive views of IB, they didn't indicate heavy weighting for it. We were with other families, though, so maybe they were being diplomatic. DS is full IB, applying to UVA RD. Similar stats to your kid except he did submit SAT (1420).[/quote]

Yes, he’s a diploma candidate, so full IB. Good luck to your kiddo![/quote]

I think she's being modest. The IB diploma program itself includes EC requirements.

https://www.ibo.org/globalassets/publications/become-an-ib-school/dp-general-regulations-en.pdf

8.3  In addition to the six subjects, candidates for the IB Diploma must complete the following core requirements:

a. a course in theory of knowledge including the required assessment, for which the IB Organization recommends at least 100 hours of teaching over the two-year period of the DP

b. CAS activities, for which the IB Organization recommends at least 150 hours for the required combination of activities

c. an extended essay in a subject available for this purpose to be submitted for assessment, for which the IB Organization recommends approximately 50 hours of work by candidates.
