If I take Further Math HL while doing the full IB diploma and get a 7 in it (only 20-30 students get a 7 in it worldwide), then will it give me an edge or will it greatly improve my chances while applying to UCB, Caltech, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Harvard and other great colleges?
I know a number of students getting into those colleges with a 7 in HL Math without doing Further Math HL.
I mean a predicted 7 in HL Math, some have a 7 in their final score.
No
Why won’t it improve my chances?
