University Recognition of IB

The IB is held in extremely high regard, and Oakmont students are clearly making their mark.  The past few years have produced unprecedented successes for Oakmont students in the quality of offers received from top USA universities.

Why do US universities love the IB so much?
Universities know:
  1. that you have breadth of knowledge
  2. that you challenged yourself
  3. that you are a well rounded person

IB has published a helpful document to help you in your application phase - How to make your IB credentials stand out in the application process.
 
We advise our families to research each university individually and their IB acceptance policies. Just like with AP exams and classes, each University and Program Major will determine the level of credits automatically earned by passing an IB exam. You can visit the IB University Recognition Website to search for a specific university and their IB recognition policy.  We highly encourage students to advocate for themselves once accepted to a Univeristy. They can use the IB Subject Briefs to help them explain to a department the course content and how it aligns to a course on their campus; with the request that the student can bypass that class given their IB score. The IB Coordinator can assist a student with this process as well.
