Schools Help Marks for university acceptance

AI Thread Summary
Concerns about achieving university admission with current mid-term grades in the IB program are highlighted, particularly with marks in chemistry (74%), biology (77%), English (83%), and French (75%). The student expresses doubt about raising their chemistry grade to 80% by finals. The discussion emphasizes the importance of grade 11 marks for early university acceptance, noting that in the US, admissions also consider standardized test scores like the SAT or ACT due to variations in high school curricula. This suggests that while grade performance is crucial, standardized tests play a significant role in the admissions process.

Hi guys, I am currently in the "ib program" and my grade 11 mid terms marks are
chem:74%
biology:77%
English:83%
French:75%
I do not think I can bring my chem mark up to an 80% by finals

This is worrying me so much.. I haven't really tried this first semester and my marks have dropped significantly. I was wondering if I can still get into university with these marks. When I apply for early acceptance do they look at your grade 11 marks?

In the US, in addition to your HS grades, you should have taken one or both of the standardized tests which are used in part to determine admission, either the SAT or the ACT. Colleges use these scores as a guide in admissions because high school curricula vary across the US.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
