Average IB Score
Average IB Score
Bard University reports an IB average score of 37 out of a possible 45 for admitted students who submit IB scores. It's important to note that many admitted students do not have IB scores. This average reflects the strong academic performance of those who do provide their IB results during the admissions process.
IB Score Range
36-40
Bard University has an IB Score Range with a 25th percentile at 36 and a 75th percentile at 40. This means that while students scoring within this range are considered, it does not guarantee admission. Applicants on the higher end of the range have a stronger chance of acceptance, while those on the lower end must enhance their application with superior grades, essays, awards, and extracurricular activities to remain competitive.
