Ms. Simmons: IB College Counselor
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.
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
“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
How prestigious universities view
IB compared to Dual Enrollment
& other AP classes
“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
