Procrastination Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Hey, I'm in Pre-IB but I'm required to choose the subjects I'm going to take next week. I thought I had my mind made up a while ago when I discovered a new subject was going to be opened at my school, Bus. & Man. This is the list of the subjects I'm going to select:-English A2 HL-Spanish A1 HL-History HL-Physics SL-Math SL-__________You may be wondering why I left the final space, well...Initially I planned to select phylosophy instead of Visual Arts but since they opened Bus. & Man. I don't know what to choose and I have to made my mind up quickly!! I want to be an engineer or an economist. What do you think I should choose, Phylosophy or Bus. & Man. And why?? What do you prefer and why? THANK YOOOU Edited April 27, 2011 by Procrastination Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timtamboy63 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 If you want to be an economist, why not choose economics? If it's not offered, then choose B&M, it's definitely not the same, but it'll be better than philosophy if you want to be an engineer. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronofox Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 A math or a science HL would be more useful to you if you want to be an engineer. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrastination Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 The problem is that neither Economics or a Science is offered in the Higher Level Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubyawhy Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Neither B&M or Philosophy is actually well regarded by top universities. Also, for Economics and Engineering you NEED Math HL. Definitely. You can drop Spanish or History SL, as English is pretty important.So take Math HL and fill up your empty space with Economics SL!

I definitely agree with this.Most universities will want to see that you've taken Math HL if you're going into Econ, Engineering, or other math-heavy disciplines, as you'll struggle from the beginning in those programs without it.
