[quote=Anonymous][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]

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%.

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]

The documents are obviously made at different times. The second one you reference has 2017 as a date in it. That's not a lie. Do they need to update their marketing? Yeah.

But as someone whose child went through Kennedy's IB program, got into several selective colleges, and is now thriving at one of them, I really wish you people who didn't send their kids there would just shut up about it. Kennedy is a solid choice. And frankly, it probably looks better to a lot of admissions reps than RMIB. [/quote]

No IB student cohort had an admission rate at UC Berkeley of 58%, 2017 or not.

Presenting these slides at parent information nights is dishonest. That tells me everything about the integrity of the people running the program.

If they need to rely on these deceptions to enroll students, I’m guessing they are quite desperate. It doesn’t inspire confidence in the IB program, which btw is not very good to begin with.[/quote]
