  1. To be frank, I doubt you'd get approval to do an irregular diploma. Irregular diplomas are usually for people who need HL Bio, Physics and Chem for medicine in certain countries. The US will not require this. You can do the current combination, but you won't get the full IBDP.
  2. Bit late on this. I did IB geo HL in 2013 and made up huge parts my case studies. These were based partially in reality but I fully made up a fish species that went to near extinction after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. So as long as it sounds true enough, examiners will not fact check unless its preposterous and unbelievable. FWIW I got a 6 with 7s in Papers 1 and 2, which is where I made up most of the case studies.
  3. It's totally possible. I did my entire EE (research included) in one night for the first draft. You'll be totally fine
  4. I personally think it should not be allowed to take an ab initio language if you've done four years of the language already. Language B is for people who have studied a language for around that length of time. Is there another language offered by your school that you could take ab initio?
  5. My old school does, but only did so after I left (annoyingly, as I wouldn't have done Geography, and I ended up doing IR at University)
  6. I'd take Visual Arts up to HL, and take physics SL. This should be fine for applying to architecture at any uni in the UK at least.
  7. Ignore the above 2 posters. Interior design is likely to include little to no maths, and UK universities do not care if you have studies for a course that has minimal maths. I'd imagine you'd need Art at HL but no other subjects would be required. e.g. http://www.ed.ac.uk/studying/undergraduate/degrees/index.php?action=programme&code=W250
  8. I got a 7 in HL History 4 years ago, so apologies if my knowledge is dated. HL History is much easier to score a 7 in compared to HL Maths I actually wrote a pretty substantive piece on HL History and why it has a low average score which can be read here: In terms of medicine, it won't disadvantage you having HL History if you have HL Biology and Chemistry, and SL Mathematics. If anything, having a humanity at HL shows you have a wider academic engagement. This can be beneficial in showing you can approach the study of medicine from a different angle. I know someone who wrote
  9. For your course, no. They care about so much more than your mathematical ability. Especially if you're getting 7s in Studies. I was predicted a 5 in Studies, and I know someone who applied for a similar course to me with SL predicted 6, and I got an offer and they didn't. Personal statements/application essays are way more important
  10. My university, St Andrews, offers Neuroscience. I know in the first year you do Psychology and Biology as your modules in your first two years, and then do Neuroscience modules in your last two. The entry requirements stipulate you only need two of Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Maths so you should be fine. The entry requirements can be found here. https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/neuroscience/neuroscience-bsc/
  11. If you're interested in medicine in the UK, you should look at this programme. It's a medical degree taught by the Universities of St Andrews and Edinburgh for Canadian school leavers. You need HL Biology and Chemistry and SL Maths as a minimum, but it gives you something to think about. http://medicine.st-andrews.ac.uk/teaching/bsc-hons-medicine/alberta/
  12. A bit late but ignore the above poster. This is a perfect UCAS application for your profile. Oxford is always a gamble, as is Imperial to an extent, but if you are predicted 40+ you're basically guaranteed an offer from Glasgow, and stand a good chance getting offers from UCL and Edinburgh. If you're an EU student, you stand a better chance getting an offer from UCL than Edinburgh, but if you're paying international fees Edinburgh will probably give you an offer, and a low one at that.
  13. He is a native English speaker. If he doesn't speak any other languages, his native language is English.
  14. We can't write your intro for you, but I certainly don't mind reading over what you've written and telling you where you can improve. Just private message me if you need help. I got an A in my history EE
  15. It's quite obviously a film topic and you don't need to do film to do an EE in it
