<p>What sciences did he take in 9th and 10th grade?</p>
<p>Chances are, he has already taken two of the basic three high school sciences – biology, chemistry, and physics.</p>
<p>If he is interested in health sciences – or any other type of science in college – he should make sure that he takes the third science in some form (either as part of the IB program or outside of it) in the next two years. He also needs to take some kind of science to meet his IB science requirement. </p>
<p>This should not involve taking three sciences in one year, though.</p>
<p>My daughter has an IB diploma, but I’m not sure how much you can learn from her experience because she detests science and wanted to take as little of it as possible. She took IB SL Environmental Science (the science course for people who hate science) to meet her IB science requirement. She had already taken biology and chemistry before starting IB, and she took a non-IB physics course as an elective so that she would have the three basic sciences that colleges look for. Her sixth subject was not a science. </p>
<p>Despite this science avoidance, if she had changed her mind in college and decided to fulfill the pre-med requirements, she could have done so.</p>
