<p>Hello guys,</p>

<p>I'm in my second year of the IB and I've already applied to two universities for ED and EA. I applied for Cognitive Neuroscience, but I may choose to go into the field of Biomedical Engineering as it seems particularly interesting from what I read of it.</p>

<p>I've taken the following subjects:</p>

<p>Math HL
Bio HL
Econ HL</p>

<p>English SL
French ab initio SL
ESS SL</p>

<p>Do you guys think I'll be able to go into the field of Biomedical Engineering? Or will I lag behind because I have not taken Physics and/or Chemistry? Will even the introductory level courses for BME require knowledge in the fields of Physics and/or Chemistry?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Have you had even regular high school level physics and chemistry (not necessarily AP or IB versions)?</p>

<p>The college courses in physics and chemistry often recommend a prerequisite of high school physics and chemistry. If you do not have that, you may have to work somewhat harder in college physics and chemistry.</p>

<p>Yeah I have completed high school physics and chemistry.</p>

<p>But I’ll have to revise because it’ll be around 2+ years since I’ll have given my high school examination (when I begin university).</p>

<p>Thanks for that reply. :)</p>
