Ms. Rubenstone - I am an IB student, currently a junior, who is scheduled to take IB Math SL next year. How will most top-tier colleges view this? Should I double-block IB Math SL with AP Calculus AB? I would have to replace either AP Spanish or AP Government & Politics with calculus; which would be better to replace? I am already in IB Spanish SL right now, and I am fluent in Mandarin.

Also, you’ve mentioned it might be to an applicant’s disadvantage not to have taken AP sciences. By the time I enter college, I will have taken IB Physics HL for two years. Will I still be at a disadvantage come admissions time?
