Notibfan Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi there,Can any one help. My question is how big a disadvantage is not getting IB diploma ?I have got the necessary points to complete IB but haven't got the diploma as got 2 in higher chemistry . Completed evevrything else, TOK, EE and CAS.Trying to decide whether I need to re- take it next year to complete it ,bearing in mind I am doing a course where I don't need chemistry at all.starting uni in September. That would mean trying to do IB chemistry along with everything else going on . Its going to be difficult. Just wondering if any one can tell me from their experience the disadvantages of not completing IB . Has any one experiences major set back with career opportunities, course, jobs etc because of this .Many thanks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 The way qualifications work is that once you've got the next qualification, your previous ones are sort-of irrelevant. So once you've got your IB results, your GCSEs don't really matter, and once you've got a University degree, nobody really cares about your IB results. If you've managed to find a Uni that will accept you without a diploma, then you're sort-of okay. Obviously it might help to have a diploma, but the main reason you need it is to gain access to higher education. Which you've already done, so... 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
