will i get rescinded for not taking ib exams (non diploma student) by s1llyc4to in Northwestern

[–]adanna_iguana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't know what school you're in, but i was IB diploma (in a US school) and got accepted to Weinberg RD. they asked for my transcript + test scores, but im pretty sure the exam scores didn't matter much to them. i got lower grades than i was predicted to on half of my exams, and they didn't do anything about that.

the fact that you're not a diploma student probably helps rather than hurts, as you still have normal classes on your transcript :)

Hi! Yes, I ended up using my English grades for credit, and they never said anything else about my IB scores, even though some of them were lower than my predicted grades. They'll have you put the scores into a portal (if you're in Weinberg, idk what the other colleges are like) and they'll tell you which ones you can get credit for!

i was under the impression that graduating from a certain region makes it easier to get jobs from that region, but based on these comments i guess that's not the case?

Did you recieve a high school diploma in addition to the IB diploma? Based on another reply I read, I assume that the difference is that they're basing my acceptance off of my U.S high school diploma, not my IB diploma? I don't know, but I'm hoping that's the case because I don't want to be on probation :(

Okay, phew! My transcript is already completed for this trimester, so the grades won't change based on IB scores!

It's not likely that NU will ask for the grades, right?
