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 we typically prefer a student take IB courses , even when other schools offer AP/Honors/Dual Enrollment.when other schools offer AP/Honors/Dual Enrollment. The reason behind this preference is simply that IB is more standardized on an international IB is more standardized on an international platformplatform 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 courseworkwhy the IB coursework, when available when available , is necessary for a student’s admission to Emory. “ Nicholas E. Missler , Senior Admission Advisor
