Please remember that your acceptance to any university program is CONDITIONAL. You need to continue to do well and receive final grades and IB grades that are close to your current grades and predicted grades in order for the university to actually admit you in the Fall. Universities complete a final check with guidance counselors for marks and behaviour before finalizing admissions. This means that you need to continue to perform well in your courses and on the exams. We check your effort on the World Exams. GPA boost is dependent on meeting all IB requirements.
