​Student Destinations: Case Studies

The IBCP was first introduced in 2012 with the first cohort of students gaining university acceptance in 2015. Below is the list of universities that IBCP students have been accepted into (updated November, 2015). This list is growing annually. 

What do Universities Think?

"We recognize the IB and related courses as solid preparation for university level work.  At this time, because the course is still very new, few applicants to Stanford come from IBCP programs, but were they to apply, we would certainly consider them. Like all other applicants, they would need to present very strong academic credentials along with personal accomplishments and other qualities to be successful in our holistic review".
