Natasha1989 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hey guys, Did anyone of you use your IB credits to fulfill the pre-reqs? I have IB credits for English and Gen Chem. I know I have a limited number of schools to apply with my IB credits. So far, I'm planning on applying to: Albany Columbia Wayne State GWU Are there any more schools that are low-mid tier that accept IB credits? Thanks in advance!

Gitanjali Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I used IB credits for 1 course. Most US schools are ok with them, some may not be - like Vandy - Vandy took my Biochem as a substitute for the G chem course that I had waived in 1st year Advise To all future applicants - Do not use your IB credits to waive1st year courses. Not worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth it Thanks Gitanjali! I now realize that I should have forfeited my IB credits and should have taken them in first year. Anyway, was ur biochem course a full year or a half year course? Because, I am taking a biochem course online at Athabasca and I have a cell molecular bio course. Will those two suffice for the biochem requirement and sub in for gen chem?

keith_015 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Take note Natasha that schools are looking for Lec + Lab. A science course from Athabasca probably won't help you. If anybody also took AP courses, schools won't look at that (probably would for English though) because of the lack of labwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha1989 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Thanks Keith! But, I have contacted a bunch of schools, who said they accepted IB credits for gen chem: EVMS, Columbia, NYU, Albany, GWU, and Wayne. So far these are the schools I have. Any other suggestions? THanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
