[quote=Anonymous]In my dc’s school most of the IB seniors scored well enough to receive the IB diploma this year. A few scored in the 40s. The value seems to be for admittance to some select T50 schools. At some ivys, you need a score of 38 or better for advanced standing. Some schools have a much higher admit rate and offer a lot of merit money to IB students. At a T30 school my school would have received 20+ credits for 5-6 HL and SL scores whereas only 4 credits will be granted at the ivy my dc will attend. At a good T100 school they give 32 credits to IB diploma students who meet certain score criteria (score of 5 in three HL classes). I wanted my child to have the option to attend schools outside of the US and I would say the rigor and preparation for competitive colleges is far better than the AP route. That is my opinion based on the research and writing growth I’ve seen from my child as compared to how well I was prepared graduating from a top national high school in NY. I agree with previous posters that obtaining beneficial outcomes and scores depend on how well your school teaches IB. [/quote]
