Lord of the Pickles Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Two things I would be a bit concerned about: math studies SL and visual arts SL. Math studies is often not allowed by universities. This is one of the lowest levels of math available for high school. However, some programs such as law allow it since they have absolutely nothing to do with math. Check to see if the program you want to get into allows math studies. Many universities would also prefer that you take chemistry along with bio for medical programs, which leaves no room for a group 6 subject (visual arts). You should double check on the university's website to check exactly what they require for admission. Other than that, I think you're good to go. Good luck.

ABKor752 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I agree. I would at least shoot for Math SL. Taking chemistry would be helpful but that is up to you to decide. Other than that, your schedule looks good. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killjoy Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Unfortunately, my teacher said I wasn't ready for math SL but I was ready for math studies yr 2 since he said math studies yr 1 is a joke and my school only offers chemistry SL and not chemistry HL, so would chemistry SL class be okay to take along bio HL??

I personally think Chemistry is not really a compulsory subject to take to be a doctor, but it is certainly required by a lot of universities, and it complements very well with future studies in Medicine. So, if you take Chemistry SL, at least it's better than not studying Chemistry at all. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
