Quotations from University Admissions Counselors:
“One of the advantages of an IB curriculum is its structure and quality. It is a coordinated program, well established, well known and well respected. We know the quality of IB courses, and we think the IB curriculum is terrific.” – Christoph Guttentag, Director of Undergraduate Admissions, Duke University
“Advanced Placement and IB examinations for most highly selective institutions are the ‘gold standards’ in terms of quality and in terms of predicting success on our campuses.” – Dan Walls, Director of Undergraduate Admissions, Emory University
“The IB is a first-rate program, one we are familiar with, and it prepares students for a university like ours.” – Fred Hargadon, Director of Undergraduate Admissions, Princeton University
“IB is well known to us as excellent preparation. Success in an IB program correlates well with success at Harvard. We are always pleased to see the credentials of the IB Diploma Program on the transcript.” – Marilyn McGraff Lewis, Assistant Dean of Admissions, Harvard University
And one final note…
As an example of how certain universities reward the IB diploma…
- An IB diploma can be worth 30 quarter units in the UC system!
- An IB diploma can earn a student up to 45 quarter units at Stanford!
- An IB diploma accounts for as many as 32 semester units at USC!
