What does the research say about the IB impact on college

preparation?

IB students feel confident when they attend college

2012 study of Chicago public schools interviewed Diploma Program alumni and

found that:

Students reported they felt prepared by the Diploma Program to succeed in

college.

Students reported that they:

• felt prepared to succeed and excel in their coursework

• had strong academic skills, especially related to analytical writing

• learned academic behaviors like work ethic, motivation, time management, and help-

seeking that were sources of strength in the transition to college-level work

• identified preparation in the IB program as the source of their success as college

students.

What do colleges say about the IB?

Colleges specifically ask if a student is an IB

student on the Common Application, Private

school applications & the Naval Academy

application. sample college applications in your

packet show this!

Research says that IB students more likely to attend, succeed

and graduate from selective colleges

In a 2012 study of diverse alumni from IB program in Chicago public

schools, researchers from the University of Chicago found that,

compared to a matched sample, DP students are more likely to:

• enroll in college

• attend a more selective college

• stay enrolled in college

This study suggests that IB students are not only going to better colleges in greater numbers but are

performing better once there.

IB students more likely to succeed in college

A 2010 study that looked at performance on IB exams and college GPA of over 1500

IB students enrolled in the University of California system found:

• IB students earned higher GPAs and graduated at higher rates than a

matched comparison group. This held across all family income levels

• performance in the Diploma Program was the strongest predictor of

college GPA.

IB students graduate from college at higher rates

The 2011 study of IB students’

experiences after high school found that

IB students graduated from college

at higher rates, with 81% of IB students

graduating within 6 years of enrolling

full-time at a 4-year institution, compared

to the national average of 57%.

Colleges say that IB prepares students for college success

“IB is well known to us as excellent preparation. Success in an IB program

correlates well with success at Harvard. We are pleased to see the credential of the

IB Diploma Program on the transcript.”

Marlyn McGrath Lewis, Assistant Dean of Admissions, Harvard University, USA

Ridgeview High School ‘s IB program currently has TWO students attending

Harvard Law School!! Lindsay church and Rob Harrington
