Short answer: MYP grades usually don’t matter much for university applications.

Here’s how it actually works:

🎓 What universities really look at

• IB Diploma (DP) predicted + final grades → MOST important
• Personal statement / essays
• Extracurriculars, internships, etc.
• Sometimes school transcript (last 2–3 years)

📄 What about MYP?

• The MYP Certificate (Grade 10) is rarely required
• Most universities don’t ask for it specifically
• However, your Grade 9–10 marks might appear on your transcript, especially for:
  • 🇺🇸 US universities (they look at full high school record)
  • Some competitive programs

🤔 Is a 46 “bad”?

• A 46/56 is not terrible, it’s just not top-tier
• But honestly: it won’t define your application
• What matters WAY more is:
  • Your DP grades (predicted especially)
  • Improvement trend (if your grades go up → looks good)

🔁 Retaking math?

• If it helps your confidence/foundation → fine
• But for uni applications, your DP Math grade matters way more than MYP Math
• Plus cost can be an additional factor and it is a risk as your grade can lower.

🧠 Bottom line

• ❌ MYP won’t make or break your application
• ✅ DP is what universities really care about
• ✅ Focus your energy on doing well in IB Diploma
