<p>so this is what I have no choice in</p>
<p>English HL
Math SL
Chem SL
History HL
French SL
TOK</p>
<p>my choice right now is between
Bio HL
Physics HL</p>
<p>I don’t know what I want to do when I grow up so this kind of decides whether I go into medicine or engineering, right?</p>
<p>No it doesn’t. American/Canadian schools don’t really care what subjects you take, they just care about the fact that you’re getting an IB Diploma. Just take whatever you’re more interested in, which should equal better grades.</p>
<p>P.S: I’d say drop either English or History to SL. Both are very writing-intensive.</p>
<p>we don’t have either in SL. our IB program is only 2 years old</p>
<p>oh and I forgot one course which is Art SL</p>
<p>so:</p>
<p>Eng HL 2 years
His HL 2 years
Bio HL(I’ll just take physics in college even though i love it) 2 years
Math SL 2 years
Art SL 2 years (wth?)
Chem SL 1 year
French SL 1 year
TOK 2 years</p>
<p>Visual Art, you mean? Stay away from it.</p>
<p>I guess but its called Art IB at my school, and why? I got a 96 in art this year. I’d rather do that than theatre</p>
<p>It is very, very intensive and is really only recommended for people going into Arts for college. Same for Theater. Why are you taking 7 subjects instead of the regular 6? You don’t have to take Theater or Arts to get your diploma.</p>
<p>yeah you have to have a group 6 course(arts) how can I graduate without it? I’m not in band</p>
<p>I’m taking 7 subjects because i think i have two sciences</p>
<p>Nope, you’re misinformed. It is NOT mandatory to take a subject from group 6. You can instead choose one more subject from groups 1-5, and hence you can drop Visual Arts/Theater and keep your other 6 subjects for your Diploma. You’re taking 2 subjects from Group 4 (sciences) instead of 1 group 4 and 1 group 6, which is allowed.</p>
<p>i don’t think that’s allowed or else I would have been able to take a subject instead of french right? or is it only for group 6?</p>
<p>You can only replace a group 6 subject. You HAVE to take atleast 1 subject from group 2, which is French for you. And everything I said is correct, it is straight from the procedure manual for Diploma Coordinators.</p>
