Hi Jonah~

It was great to meet you at the IB Conference, and I hope you enjoyed your time in Miami!

I am cc'ing Jaci McGrew in this e-mail, because she is the counselor who works with students from the Midwest. So if you would like to set up a meeting, come check out our campus, discuss potential students, or want any additional information, feel free to contact either of us.



I told you that I would e-mail you additional information regarding the perks of an IB student at The College of Idaho, so here it is! Perhaps you could pass this info along to your college counselor.



If an IB student is diploma seeking and is accepted into C of I, they will receive:

* $11,000 academic scholarship per year
* 30 Credits (Sophomore Standing) if the student has a 28 or higher IB Diploma score

Here are some additional statistics on IB at C of I from our web-site: https://www.collegeofidaho.edu/media/catalog/Admission.asp


International Baccalaureate

The College of Idaho has found IB students to be very successful students during their tenure on campus. Over the past three years, the number of IB students has grown exponentially leading up to over 10% of the Fall 2009 freshman class having been IB students.

* The Average 1st year GPA of an IB student at The College of Idaho is 3.17.
* Our 4-year retention rate is 91% for IB students.

The College of Idaho appreciates the rigor and integrity of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. Therefore students who have completed the IB diploma with a minimum score of 28 will receive the following:

* Sophomore standing and 30 credits toward graduation upon enrollment.
* Preferred status for admission.
* Enhanced opportunity for merit scholarships.

For those who earned the IB Diploma with scores lower than 28, College of Idaho credit will be awarded as follows:
