35. What are the Advantages of graduating from the IB Program? Best college preparatory program in the area. IB is widely recognized by the World’s leading universities. Earn college credit, in many cases allowing them to skip over entry-level courses. Develop study habits and time management skills. IB family community Increased scholarship opportunities.

36. How do universities view IB? Universities have indicated they only come to our school out of the entire surrounding area to recruit due to the quality students IB provides: University of Pennsylvania Emory University Rice University University of Miami

37. we typically prefer a student take IB courses, even when other schools offer AP/Honors/Dual Enrollment.IB is more standardized on an international platform why the IB courseworkwhen available “Students have many options when it comes to their high school curriculum. AP, IB, Dual Enrollment, and Honors classes all provide an opportunity for students to better prepare themselves for college. At Emory University, we typically prefer a student take IB courses, even when other schools offer AP/Honors/Dual Enrollment. The reason behind this preference is simply that IB is more standardized on an international platform whereas AP, Honors and DE can vary widely across the US from school-to-school. Strength of HS curriculum is the number one indicator for us as to a student’s likelihood of success once they enroll at Emory, which is why the IB coursework, when available, is necessary for a student’s admission to Emory. “ Nicholas E. Missler, Senior Admission Advisor

39. How prestigious universities view IB compared to Dual Enrollment & other AP classes the IB as a challenging curriculum respect IB very much community service component of the IB is also highly respected have not been challenged to do so before or in other types of curriculums “A student’s high school courses and curriculum is the most important factor in the selection process complimented by all of the other pieces in the application. We see the IB as a challenging curriculum, with higher and standard level courses as well as the TOK and extended essay. As a staff, we respect IB very much and see applicants from all over the world in the IB curriculum. The community service component of the IB is also highly respected as students engage in outreach to their communities as a part of their holistic school requirements. We also note the extended essay subject and the opportunity for students to research and write in a way they have not been challenged to do so before or in other types of curriculums. The IB is a wonderful program. ” Jodi Robinson, Director of Admissions
