What Colleges Are Saying About IB Students
“A transcript that reveals a student’s enrollment in International Baccalaureate courses serves notice to the admissions officer that the applicant is someone who accepts rather than avoids educational challenges. Further, a successful IB student will enroll at Michigan with some advantages over students who have taken less intensive programs...Unquestionably, a school that graduates each year a number of students with IB diplomas has demonstrated its commitment to high educational standards and that commitment will serve to influence admissions decisions at the University of Michigan.”
University of Michigan, Cliff Sjogren, former Director of Admissions
“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.”
Harvard University, Marilyn McGrath Lewis, former Director of Admissions
"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."
Duke University, Christoph Guttentag, Director of Undergraduate Admissions
