Do Universities in the USA Recognize the IB Diploma? 

Here is what the University of Virginia has to say about the IB Diploma on their website: “In general, students who earn scores of 5, 6, or 7 on the IB Higher Level examinations receive credit and place out of lower-level courses. For admission purposes, we assume that students pursuing a full IB diploma are taking the toughest academic program available to them and that is what the Committee on Admission generally wants to see.”
