Whittier College IB Requirements
Average IB Score
Average IB Score
Whittier University reports an average IB score of 35 out of a possible 45 for admitted students who have submitted IB scores. It's important to note that many students accepted to Whittier do not have IB scores. This average reflects the school's competitive admissions process for those who do present IB results.
IB Score Range
30-35
Whittier University has an IB score range for undergraduate admissions where the 25th percentile is 30 and the 75th percentile is 35. Being within this range does not guarantee admission, but scores closer to 35 are a good indicator of a strong application. Applicants on the lower end, around 30, will need to bolster their profiles with superior grades, essays, extracurricular activities, and awards to improve their chances of acceptance.
