<p>It would probably hurt you a little bit. Most students at Stanford take more than on kind of sciences in their HS year.</p>

<p>People are talking about combinations of occupations. This means that, for example, Computer Science now requires Biology. This combination produces a new career called Bioinformatics. </p>

<p>M.I.T. and many other universities now REQUIRE one year, and not limited to, of Biology, chemistry, and physics.</p>

<p>Most rigorous courseload possible.</p>

<p>so now it's mandatory to take all 3sciences for at least one year? even if you are a international student?</p>

<p>For some universities. If your school offers all three and you only take one... that might be a problem. It's not too late to catch up: try out the summer school. It ain't that hard.</p>
