<p>Hello to everybody! I am technically sophomore male, but I am taking junior classes(IB), so it does not matter. What matters is, I do not have neither Chemistry or Biology.</p>
<p>My coursework looks like:</p>
<p>English A1 SL
Spanish B SL
Economics HL
Maths HL
Further Maths SL
Physics HL
History SL</p>
<p>I am quite good in physics(6 or 7), and very good in maths(HL probably 7, further...not sure). It says on MIT webpage that the recommended coursework includes chemistry and biology, neither of which I have. I am international btw, I know my chances are very slim, just curious if it is worth it to give it a try by applying. I have no intentions of taking chem/bio classes, I would rather go to Sloan straight away, my passion is finance.</p>
<p>So, wouldn't I be in huge disadvantage by not having chem/bio? Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>I was accepted Early Action without ever taking a biology course. I finished Chem AP as a junior and am taking Physics AP as a senior, but no biology for me. So it is possible to be accepted to MIT without biology. Without biology AND chemistry, I have no clue.</p>
<p>Similarly, I was accepted EA without ever taking AP Physics. I took a pre-AP level physics course though. I think you never know unless you try. And if you package yourself with the highest possible math and physics courses, then they may see it as focusing on your passion. Though if chem and bio aren’t for you, don’t take them solely in the hopes of getting into MIT. There are plenty of business schools out there, and MIT at its core is really about the sciences. If you don’t have much interest in taking bio and chem in high school, perhaps a university where they’re required courses isn’t the best fit. You still have plenty of time to find out where you fit best, and who knows, maybe it will be MIT.</p>
