IB courses you wish you could have taken, but couldn't

I would take Computer Science, a bunch of people and I requested for it but it was rejected because apparently the pass rate sucks!? -.-

Other than that probably Latin, Arabic ab initio or Japanese ab initio.

I also sort of wish I took Chemistry because my lack of it is hurting my admission to some unis faculties of sciences...

Chemistry HL. In my school, chemistry overlaps with psychology, so in taking psychology, I had to exclude chemistry and took physics HL instead, and from what I hear from my science-fiend friends, Chemistry HL is some way easier than Physics HL, let alone if I had later swapped it to SL... I also found during the IB that I don't really give a damn about science and real success in the IB sciences would seem to require some personal interest along with skills in maths, which I pretty much used to do my sciences before the IB.

I would also have liked to do Computer Science and B&M, but neither course was offered at my school back when I started the IB, so I couldn't...

History --> Mum thought I would turn into a terrorist if I learnt anything more about wars and stuff. (I wanted to be in the army/ police all my childhood and kinda still want to)

Hindi/Punjabi/Urdu or Arabic --> do a language B I'm fluent in (french is too hard)

Physics --> can't do 3 sciences :( I think I've betrayed this subject

I feel lucky that my school offers many of the subjects people in other schools which they could take (such as Computer Science, ESS, Business, Econ, Music). Since I go to a large international school many subjects are offered and I like the combination of subjects I have chosen.

However, if I really had to pick maybe I would have chosen Arabic ab initio which isn't offered at my school. I want to lean Arabic but it's not offered at my school so I take French ab initio instead. But this is not a big deal as French is also quite useful and I like learning it.

IB Art - even through my school offers it, had to take 2 sciences for medicine

IB Psychology - Probably the only relevant one with medicine and the most interesting group 3 class, heard that it's easy. Just like sociology and philosophy, offered as Turkish diploma courses but not IB :dontgetit:

I also wish that IB had Sex Ed instead of TOK
