Merrimack College reports an average IB score of 32 out of a maximum of 45 for admitted students who present IB scores. However, it is important to note that many students who are accepted do not submit IB scores. This average reflects the performance of those who do, indicating a competitive standard among this subset of applicants.
Merrimack College's IB score range for undergraduate admissions is between 30 and 35, with the 25th percentile at 30 and the 75th percentile at 35. Being within this range does not guarantee admission; applicants at the higher end are viewed more favorably. Those at the lower end of the range will need to compensate with stronger grades, essays, awards, and extracurricular activities to enhance their application.
Merrimack College does not explicitly require or recommend any specific IB subjects, but based on the college profile, we suggest certain subjects. For Higher Level (HL) courses, we recommend Biology, Chemistry, Math AA, and Business and Management. For Standard Level (SL) subjects, we suggest English B, Psychology, and History. This selection reflects the college's academic expectations and areas of focus.
