10 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.

11 Research says that IB students are more likely to attend, succeed and graduate from selective colleges In a 2012 study of diverse alumni from IB programs 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.

12 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.

13 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%.
