Bysee Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hey, I was wondering if any US universities require Math HL to apply for Computer Science, because I will take Math SL starting this september and I don't take physics. Thanks in advance! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink97 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 There aren't any specific subject requirements for courses in universities in the USA. With that being said, it is logical to take subjects that are related to your intended major (and particularly as a higher level subject) - it'll provide you with solid base to build upon when you take your major specific classes in college. So you definitely should take higher level maths and physics if you intend to major in computer science - the maths classes you'll take as a computer science major will be far more challenging then maths HL so it's in your favour to take it so you're prepared for the intensity. Also you'll be competing for admission against people who'll have taken maths HL or a level maths/further maths or AP Calculus BC so you don't want the fact that you didn't take the most advanced classes in your area of interest to be the reason you get rejected from the colleges you apply to. If you don't think you can handle both maths and physics HL, take HL maths and SL physics but don't avoid taking physics altogether. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
