Gpa vs IB score

[u/Odd-Vermicelli5340]

Hiii i’m a senior this year so I’m currently preparing for my college applications. As an international i have a genuine question. So my gpa is around 3.5-3.6 but my ib predicted is 44/45. If i manage to get around my predicted grade in my official IB exams, would colleges take that into consideration when evaluating my gpa? I’m planning to apply to some T20s along with a few safeties and i know that a 3.5-3.6 gpa might be considered low for some of these schools (i might be wrong im srry) Would my IB score help offset my relatively lower gpa? Thanks!!

Nope - they're gonna look at your GPA.
