school2cewl Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 SO many people say "a 7 in IB is harder to get then an A or a 5 in AP".. so then how would college admissions look at the gradings of IB on our transcript.. Would 5 be like a B+? 6 = A? 7= A++? I'm curious how "bad" a 5 would look on my junior transcript... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmur Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Don't look at like that. While there isn't a direct translation, I promise you every school is familiar with the IB and knows how rigorous it is. Now in terms of the grades, anything in the 6s and 7s are really good - One of my friends got into Columbia with a 43 IB total for example - but a 5 is still solid. I'd say it depends on where you want to apply to. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
