Knight Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 If your aim is to study medicine, this selection should be a piece of cake! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poflo Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Wait but you do not have a group 3 subject!! You could choose one at standard level e.g. Business or economics Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrowhead Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Are you doing a non-traditional diploma which your school has taken special permission for? If not, you need to take one Humanity (Group 3) among your DP subjects. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Wait but you do not have a group 3 subject!! You could choose one at standard level e.g. Business or economics Unless they have talked to the IBO and gotten special permission to do an irregular diploma because they're applying to a country that requires all three science subjects for medicine. Otherwise they need to add a Group 3 subject, and can choose from history, psychology, economics, geography, etc. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 As far as i know, irregular diplomas, (especially ones without a G3 subject) are very common in my school. But still, It would have benefited you if you had taken psych instead of physics as psych and bio overlap to some extent. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
