<p>I have heard this saying that the top US universities like history students. Is it the truth or it just a myth?</p>

<p>I am currently going on to IB program and choosing subject. I'm definitely choosing English A SL, Chinese A SL, Biology HL, Chemistry HL, Maths HL. </p>

<p>But I dun know for humanities if I should choose Eco HL or history HL (yes I'm doing four HLs). </p>

<p>I mean if I choose economics than all of my subjects are pretty scientific, but I heard it is pretty easy. Ironically, HL is easier than SL.</p>

<p>but if I do history, I add a variety in my subject as it is definitely the most humanity out of all the humanities. And I heard US universities also like students with a variety in their subjects. The only problem is I'm a second language speaker so although I'm pretty good at English I doubt if I'll be getting a secure 7.</p>

<p>So based on my situation, wut do u guys suggest?</p>

<p>They like all sorts of students, there’s no explicit preference for history students. It’s good to have variety, but it’s more important to take the most challenging schedule you can. I think you’ll be fine taking either Econ or History. </p>
