<p>Princedog, I think it's because (a) I go to private school (on scholarship from my parents' employer; I'm not wealthy) and we don't have the same requirements as public schools, and (b) at my school both SLs and HLs are two-year courses, which makes scheduling less of an issue. We actually don't have to take history at all if we don't want to; both geography and economics fulfill the social science requirement.</p>
<p>Jason and FitzRandolph2010, I hope the admissions office feels the same way. :o</p>
