Hi everyone,

So it’s that time of the year where I have to chose my courses for next year. I will be a junior in the diploma program. I’m stuck on a few courses, and I would like your help! Here is the schedule I have so far:
(FYI, IB SL courses at my school are 2 years long)

IB English 3 HL
IB Spanish 4 SL
IB HOA HL
IB Physics 2 HL
IB Math SL
IB Chem 2 HL (Not sure about this, just started chem 1 this semester so not sure how good at it I am, however I do know that I enjoy the subject
IB TOK
Here’s where I am having the most trouble:
For my elective I’m stuck between taking IB Biology SL and AP Stats (possibly AP Human Geography as it’s interesting to me, but I want to look impressive)
Pluses and drawbacks to each:
I’m great at math (school doesn’t offer HL) and relatively good at biology, although I’m highly interested in it
Biology would be a 2 year course, where I could take 2 APs
I don’t know much about stats, is it interesting?
I would like to go to college for engineering (electrical/chemical/biomedical) or economics if that helps
Thanks!
