I saw a story about a Polish guy who got 45 points in his IB (That's the maximum, IIRC 0.2% of people get that, and he was the only Pole that year), applied to do Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Balliol and got rejected
I'm doing it in Switzerland. There are two schools in Romania as well which are doing it.

The IB points do not amount for much, especially when it comes to US. They look for SATs. UK counts them heavily though, if you want Cambridge or Oxford you have to have at least of minimum 40 points.
