vals Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 My school most likely won't offer HL Maths this year so I'm stuck.They've told me that they don't allow self-studying and it's really frustrating, as I might not even fit in their Language criteria. In facts, they don't offer any option to French B but German B, and I've never studied German. What they suggest is taking Polish A and English B, but that'd disadvantage me too much.I'm wondering wheter they're even allowed to forbid self-taught subjects in such cases.Do I have any chance of getting into any Computer Science faculty in the world without Maths HL?So far I've only found unis that consider it essential.

by.andrew Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 A lot of Canadian universities only require Math SL (HL is recommended) for computer sciences/Engineering. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmi Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 HL math is a really good thing to take if you're considering computer science because it's a ton of math. That being said, you can get into schools in the US with just SL math, and you'll start from an introductory calculus course rather than something a bit higher up (multivariable, differential equations, etc). You might be able to find a school in the UK that will let you in if you get a very high score on SL math. And perhaps you can take some additional math courses on your own time just to stay competitive through a local community center or something.

vals Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Thank you (:Thankfully the last school I've been to today has accepted me and it offers all the subjects I need, so I don't need to stress anymore!It was a fortunate case that I fond it actually, I was almost sure I'd gone to a Catholic school with little to no options for scientific subjects...
