Thank you!
I am considering a double major in Biology & Political Science, but am leaning more towards political science along with another liberal (arts) major.
Some comments:
I doubt you can take IB classes in the 10th grade.
How will you take Italian 2 without Italian 1?
Why take Math Studies (= math for non stem majors) and not Math SL in 11-12th grades? Your math progression would likely include precalculus honors in 10th grade.
The person to speak to is your guidance counselor. He/she would need to check the box saying you have taken the most rigorous course-load available at your HS in his/her college recommendation. Note that doesn’t mean you need to take every AP offered or anything like that – there is generally a bit of leeway. Also keep in mind that academics are just one piece of the admissions puzzle.
@MYOS1634 At my school, if we are advanced a year (which I am), you can begin taking select IB classes in sophomore year and then test out by junior year. I was supposed to take IB Pre-Calc this year (SL track) but switched to Studies in a effort to bring up my GPA as, due to health issues last year, my GPA had faltered. I am currently a sophomore
The class “Italian 2” consists of the first semester covering Italian 1 and the second containing Italian 2.
The problem is that Math studies doesn’t branxh into SL. Check with your guidance counselor as, often, if you get off the math sequence, it’s very hard to get back on it.
