[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Point taken. I will mention that RMIB list looks different. It is titled "IB college list for classes 2024, 2023, 2023, 2021 [u]attending[/u]. Attending is repeatedly underlined for each class.

It doesn't talk about applications, admissions.. gives no percentages. Just a list of colleges and the number of students from each class attending each of the colleges. There is no disclaimer that it is student reports. However, the source of the list is unclear. The list was given to parents in the hallways during orientation together with list of clubs, flyers about IB and similar.[/quote]

[b]You know the numbers are made up because if you look at this document the quoted admission rate from IB at Berkeley is 58%, while from the other link it was 24%.[/b]

Needless to say it’s neither. For Kennedy I suspect it’s closer to 0%.

If a high school lies so blatantly to parents at info nights, that’s enough for me to not send my kids there.[/quote]

I believe what they are saying is that IB is +32% percentage points higher than "total population acceptance rate"), so 24+32=58. Population percentages seem a bit high here (does Berkeley really accept 24%?)

Now that I look at it, the source is I-graduate.org (whatever that is but is seems focused on California state schools) and this is for IB programs generally, not the one at Kennedy necessarily. It explains why data is old, as reflected in high acceptance rate.

Again, this list should not be confused with the list parents got at RMIB, which was different and focused on their particular IB program (not IB generally) and attendance vs. acceptance.[/quote]
