Western Carolina University reports an average IB score of 33 for admitted students who have submitted their IB scores, out of a total possible 45. It's important to note that many students who are admitted do not have IB scores. This average indicates a competitive standard for those applicants who do provide them.
Western Carolina University reports an IB score range with a 25th percentile of 30 and a 75th percentile of 35. Applicants with scores closer to the 35 mark are in a stronger position, while those at the 30 level may need to enhance their applications with better grades, essays, awards, and extracurricular activities. Being within this range does not guarantee admission.
Western Carolina University does not explicitly require or recommend any specific IB subjects, but based on the college's profile, we suggest the following: for higher-level subjects, consider Biology, Psychology, Math AA, and Chemistry. For standard-level subjects, English B and History are recommended. These subjects align well with the university's academic expectations and can strengthen your application.
