<p>I'm taking Biology and Chemistry as highers next year, but apparently universities prefer Physics because it shows "we're willing to work hard"?</p>
<p>I'm taking History as a higher too, and maths at standard, although I am pretty good at maths, I don't think I would be able to get a good level in higher.</p>
<p>What are your opinions, for those who did IB?</p>
<p>Thanks guys,</p>
<p>Well I’m in IB right now and my counselor recommended I take Physics HL if I was going the medical route too. I heard the Physics HL exam is wicked hard though, our IB Physics teacher says he doesn’t even think he’d recommend it for a lot of people who took Pre-IB physics their sophomore year unless they’re a strong student and exceptionally good at maths. So really I guess you should HL in whatever you’re strongest in. </p>
<p>I’m taking Physics IB and Biology IB next year and from there I’m going to decide which one I want to HL in. I’m probably going to SL in Chemistry my senior year. (I asked the IB Chemistry and Biology teachers about this and they thought it was a good idea–so did the counselor). </p>
<p>My counselor is also asking colleges about the way they view the IB students who weren’t able to HL in Physics because they didn’t take Pre-IB Physics as sophomores. If you want me to I’ll tell you what she says once she finds out.</p>
<p>I don’t think it really matters.</p>
<p>Yeah from what I’ve researched, universities will not really care which sciences you do but almost always prefer at least 2. However I’m doing Physics HL and having a hard time with it so I was also wondering how colleges actually view those who don’t do it.
Thus lilmems can you please tell us what your counselor said?</p>
