piyush2003m Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hi, I am a student from India I just started with IB after giving my IGCSE exams. I am looking to pursue CS in universities from US, Canada, Singapore. I am a bit confused with my subject selection- Maths (Analysis and Approaches) HL Physics HL CS HL ITGS SL English (first language) SL Hindi (second language) SL Now the problem is that if I want to keep options in India, I need to take chemistry instead of CS. As I am not at all interested in chemistry, I will take it at SL level, meaning I then have to take Hindi/ ITGS at HL level. Based on the current selection, I have eliminated India as an option. What are your thoughts of my subject selection if I want to apply to the best universities? Thanks in advance Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyserbest Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 - ITGS isn't as easy as people think because it is difficult to get a 7 (barely anyone takes a 7). In order to get a 7 in ITGS, practice past papers a lot and revise well. - If you want go to the USA, you don't have to take chemistry at all. You don't even have to take Physics at HL either (Physics SL is useful). That is the same goes for Canada and the UK. You probably need Math AA HL because it is very benificial for CS. Physics HL is only optional. - If you want to go to India, I would recommend taking Chemistry SL since you might probably need both Math AA HL and Physics HL compared to The USA or Canada. - You can do English LangLit HL as well since it is not as challenging as English Lit and you want to study sciences. If I were you, I'd choose English LangLit or Hindi B in HL instead. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
