2021 IB Chemistry Results: UCL Pharmacy, NUS, Toronto, Imperial, KAIST, and Many Totals of 44–45, Plus Biology
Many students had university offers even before their final results came out.
Some had already been accepted to KAIST or the University of Toronto and no longer had to worry about admissions.
Now that the results are out, more students are gradually receiving offers.
Each message makes me happy. Korean decisions haven't been announced yet,
but many universities elsewhere have released results. Quite a few students are going to Singapore and Toronto this time, haha.

Teacher, it’s a bit late, but I got a 7. I got 4 on the IA and made up for it on the papers.
Teacher
Haha! See? Did I tell you we could do it if we kept going to the end, or that we couldn’t? Congratulations—your overall score must be high too. You worked so hard, worrying and crying. It makes it all worthwhile.

This student struggled a lot during the school year but ultimately earned 44.
They're aiming for a Korean university. I hope they get somewhere they want.

These results came after lessons with me and Grace, who teaches Biology. It's very rewarding.

Hello, teacher. It has been a long time. Please stay well during this difficult COVID period. The IB final results are out, and my child got a 7 in chemistry, so I wanted to thank you. The predicted grade was only 6. It is thanks to your continued guidance.
Teacher
Thank you so much. I think the other subjects went well too. You worked so hard. Thank you!

Hello, teacher! You helped me with chemistry last winter break. I wanted to let you know that I received a predicted 7 for my IA at school. Thank you for your careful help when there was so little time left before the deadline. Thanks to you, I think I achieved a good result. I’ll contact you as soon as my final score comes out.
Teacher
Oh! Congratulations. You’ve had lots of university acceptances too, so let me know when more good results come in. Honestly, you did all the work. Thank you!
Student
Thank you! I got into Michigan–Ann Arbor, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin–Madison and UIUC in the US, and Canadian universities too. I also applied to some top universities, so I’m looking forward to more good results. I’ll be in touch soon!
Teacher
Haha, incredible! Congratulations!
Student
Thank you!

They got into practically all the US universities they applied to, haha.
Congratulations. You worked hard. I remember that we finished the Chemistry IA in a week.
Grace doesn't pay much attention to collecting these messages, so I asked for a few of them.
Again, her students earned final IB 7s. Impressive, Grace, haha.
We are always working and teaching together.
I really believe you won't regret studying IB Biology with Grace.
I'm so happy that the teacher I work with has such good results too.
It's rewarding to see everyone do well. I hope you grow into good people.
