Bitte Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Btw I'm taking Physics HL and Chemistry HL and I want to go to the U.S for college. Edited February 10, 2015 by Bitte Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 For the very top universities, probably not. But for middle-tier universities (such as mine), it should be fine, especially since you have HL physics and chemistry. In the US you'll usually just start in a first-semester calculus course that will be a lot of review for you, as the first course is typically single-variable differential calculus. Let me know if you have any other questions about engineering in the US. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seif Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Btw I'm taking Physics HL and Chemistry HL and I want to go to the U.S for college. It really depends on the university you want to apply to. You're better off searching for the university you want to apply to and sending their Admission's Office an email asking for the requirements. Usually, the requirements are somewhere on the university's website. Also, I'd suggest staying in Math HL if you can. All you need is a 5 or a 6 and studying engineering will be a breeze as it'll increase your uni options and remove a few credits for ya.

usernamed Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 In my school, our maths teachers said that you can get into engineering with SL maths. So they suggested that everyone who wants to do engineering do SL maths, rather than maths studies, since noone at my school ended up doing HL maths.However, I do encourage you to double check on that. And ask your university of choice for their requirements. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 generally not, The entry requirement for engineering is usually Maths HL and physics HL Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csaba Goeroeg Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think it depends on the type of engineering as well. I think electrical and mechanical engineering need Math HL a lot more than physics. Although Material, Environmental or Geotechnical engineering is something which would benefit more from physics HL. So I guess it really just depends what type of engineer you want to become. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
behaaa Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 If you are aiming for the BEST Unis out there, then you probably need to take HL math for engineering. But you never know, you should check with the unis you are applying to and get in touch with their admins. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDgen47@IB Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) You could take math SL for some engineering course and for selective universities but you will miss out on college credits which will help a lot. Taking math HL also makes you application look better and competitive. It will also help save you from the sudden onset of difficulty of University math. I am not sure about this but I think it should also make physics HL and chemistry HL go on smoothly.Basically, there is no harm in taking math SL. It's not like there is no university in the US that won't accept math SL. But taking math HL will give you a wider choice and many more advantages.
