Will my daughter likely get a waiver for IELTS because she studied an international curriculum?

It depends. Some universities may grant an IELTS waiver if your daughter studied the International Baccalaureate (IB) and achieved required grades in English, but policies vary widely.
- Many universities accept IB English A: Language and Literature or English A: Literature at certain levels as proof of English proficiency.
- Others may still require standardized tests like IELTS, regardless of the curriculum.
- Some institutions may consider a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter as evidence, but this is not guaranteed.
