9 Grade Distribution See IB statistical bulletin for an analysis of examination results by subject and level (May 2014)-

10 A University Perspective

11 Some Points to Consider What is the true value of the IB Diploma? How do IB students approach university courses? How are recognition decisions made on university campuses? What happens to a student s admission offers if they don t meet their predictions? Do universities care about IB results? (Why should students bother to send them or even take them/take them seriously?)

12 How to show colleges what they want: Context School profile When was IB instituted and why? How many IB students at the school/in grade 12? Proportion/number of full diploma students? Historical pass rate/average score? IB grade distribution last year? Which classes offered at HL? More than 3 HL allowed?

13 How to show colleges what they need: Clarity Transcript Identify IB (including HL/SL), AP, online, honors, dual enrollment, etc. State whether IB adds point value to GPA/rank Clearly indicate whether student will earn full IB diploma Use counselor letter to highlight IB Especially challenging combo of courses, extra HLs EE topic or language CAS as it relates to character/personality Help educate admission officers who don t know the IB

14 Help IB students shine in their applications Application tips Activity section highlight CAS and EE Essay & Interview tips TOK did you change a belief EE curiosity, independence, passion about a topic CAS colloboration, service, character Bilingual education International perspective Help students see what makes the IB unique

15 Help IB students market themselves at college Seek out Professor for class you want to get into Find out who sets IB credit policy at your university Utilize resources on IBO website: rary/ Get syllabi from your high school
