SL Physics or SL Biology???

Hi everyone,

I’m choosing my classes for the DP, and my school only allows 3 HLs, of which one is mandatory–English. I have chosen HL Chemistry and HL Math to accommodate that, my favorite subjects.

Here is my dilemma–I don’t know whether to take Biology or Physics as my second science, SL. I love biochemistry and particularly genetics and research in the pharmaceutical industry, but many things about biology I just find boring.

In college, I’m fairly sure I’d like to become an engineer, probably a chemical engineer. Should I do chemistry or physics? I’m especially interested in Georgia Tech (and their President’s Scholarship)…

Thanks.
