Scores in the HL classes must be 5 or above.
You take 3 courses at the Higher Level:- 3 credits are given for English- 3 credits are given for History- 3 credits are given for your Elective- 3 credits are given for your Language B
So you can get 9 credits at Pitt (and most other schools) for your IB Diploma!
With just 9 IB Credits at Pitt you would save $5,724!
SUMMATION OF BENEFITS FOR YOUR IB DIPLOMA:- Elite schools look at DIPLOMA CANDIDATES in a
better light than NON DIPLOMA CANDIDATES. (Schools can and do call to see if a student has paid for their IB Diploma).
- Some schools offer Sophomore Status to students that complete an IB Diploma.- Schools that do not offer Sophomore Status do
accept IB HL Credits with scores of 5 or higher for the most part.- Sitting for the Diploma is a great challenge!
