Will american colleges care whether I take Math Studies in IB?

[Nibbly]

<p>I'm currently deciding on my course options for IB, and I really want to take math studies. Math has always been my weak point - I pretty much have perfect grades in everything else. I took IGCSE extended math this year (I didn't take core because I did NOT want a C as my highest grade) and I've found it pretty challenging. I'm really interested in the humanities, and for like half my life, I've known that I want to be a psychologist / neuropsychologist. I know I need stats for that, and looking at the math studies curriculum, it's pretty stats intensive (more so, even, than math SL). Would american universities care whether I took math studies? If it helps, I'm interested in schools like Pamona / Pitzer / Bowdoin </p>

<p>I'm also considering relatively easy courses in general, but that's because I'm genuinely interested in everything I'd be taking. My courses would be: </p>

<p>Geography HL
Psychology HL
English A lit HL
French B SL
Math studies / Math SL (ew)
Biology SL </p>

<p>Would taking math studies hurt me?</p>

<p>For anyone viewing this, it’s the same as asking if taking AP Stats over AP Calculus AB would hurt in admissions (BC is comparable to HL Math). I don’t know how to answer your question specifically, though.</p>
