<p>How important is it to have 3-4 years of laboratory sciences in high school, as is recommended according to UChicago's website?</p>
<p>I'm an international applicant and have had only 2 years of science in high school. I was on the local curriculum in the first 2 years and did only social sciences, languages, and mathematics, before changing to an international school to do the IB Diploma. I have been taking IB Biology at standard level this year and last year, and have been consistently getting a "7" (highest grade) in the subject. </p>
<p>I applied RD to UChicago and indicated as my "academic interests" Economics (1st), Philosophy (2nd), and Politics (3rd) in the Common App. How much is not having 3-4 years of sciences in high school going to affect my chances of admission?</p>
