Attention Grade 12s:
PLEASE review the schools listed on your Naviance page and make sure that every school you applied to is listed. We send your IBSO report to every school you applied. If it is not listed in Naviance, it will not be sent.
UK schools need to be listed, but they only receive the predicted grades (already sent) and the final grades in July.
Thank you from Ms Diano and your counsellors!
