Are references compulsory in an IB application

Would I be dinged if I don't include references in my application when it is listed among documents that should be submitted in an IB application?

Can I do without adding demand6wd references if I submit other documents like cover letter, undergrad certificate and transcript?

Even if you’re able to submit the application without the references, chances are good HR will follow up and ask you for them. Which makes it look like you didn’t read the instructions clearly. Worst case scenario make a burner email and pretend to be a classmate you worked with on a group project or something. 

 

How do you know what specific application OP is talking about? How do you know with certainty that “they don’t check references?”
 

You don’t.

 

Dolorum totam nihil sunt ea doloremque. Dolorem deserunt ea incidunt maxime consequatur quos. Sunt ad itaque aut eligendi qui. Repellendus quae fugit dicta qui laudantium.

Ullam ut consectetur a voluptas commodi. Rerum sed laboriosam rerum laborum.

Hic quo enim pariatur delectus ullam hic cupiditate. Recusandae magni suscipit vero est praesentium. Dolorem quisquam et provident natus.

Facilis maxime recusandae a. Fugiat nostrum recusandae accusamus quo.
