Tarang Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 With Chem HL, Bio HL and Math HL, does a History SL or Psychology SL make any difference in colleges available? What are the cons and benefits of one SL over another? Please assume equal interest in both History and Psychology. Thanks in advance for your input Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 If you are applying to chem or bio majors, then SL in History or Psychology does not matter. But if you are applying to BA and social science degrees than it may make a small difference. In general SL doesn't matter much. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarang Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Thanks kw0573. Are there colleges specially in US that prefer if a student has done History in IB? There is not much difference in History SL and HL as far as I know except for paper 3 at least at our school. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Some schools will want a history class during your high school years. If you have already taken a history class before IB, then SL History is not useful, otherwise it might make a difference in 20% of the schools.
