  • COVID-19 Response Faqs Related to College Admissions and IB Diploma Programme Exams
    COVID-19 response FAQs related to College Admissions and IB Diploma Programme exams Will the cancelation of IB exams affect college acceptances? It should not. Offers of admission to US universities should remain the same. If you received a conditional offer based on your IB score, know that these universities are working to figure out how to best assess your work. Per the UCAS system: “We want to reassure you that we remain focused on making sure no applicant is disadvantaged during this time of uncertainty, and will continue to be on hand to support you and your students each step of the way.” Canadian colleges, like UBC, have not provided specific information on how they will move forward without IB scores, but they have repeatedly reassured students that they will not be disadvantaged because of COVID-19 related circumstances. Do students still need to commit to a college by May 1? Many colleges have formally extended the May 1 deadline to commit. If you need more time, do not hesitate to ask for an extension. Some colleges, especially colleges with competitive admissions, are not advertising extensions but are offering them on a case- by-case basis. What should a student do if their family’s financial situation has changed? Call the financial aid office. The COVID-19 situation has created an unprecedented level of uncertainty. You may be able to negotiate regarding your aid offer. Are colleges still offering credit for IB courses? Colleges are in the process of deciding how they will award IB credit in the absence of exams.
