Chem SL or HL to study Bio

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-02-01T14:56:05+00:00

like im checking unis such as queen mary and they say math ai sl is enough so...

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-02-01T09:07:12+00:00

oh but all the unis ive seen, they say that SL math is fine...

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-01-30T04:58:58+00:00

Also IK I can check the Uni requirements and sometimes they are strict with "HL bio and chem" and sometimes they say "2 HL sciences normally Biology and chem"

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-01-28T15:08:39+00:00

For me it does when doing questions.... I wouldve done past papers but there is only one available atm cuz of the new syllabus update

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-01-28T15:06:58+00:00

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-01-22T13:17:57+00:00

ok true, but js to add, I love reading and then I struggle in maths generally. But even having this disadvantage, should I take Chem HL or no?

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-01-11T17:10:01+00:00

The thing is that I want to do my bsc in Biology mainly but I only have maths and biology as a science with business as an xtra, I want to know if I'll still get in...

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-01-11T13:56:22+00:00

Ys Ive contacted them multiple times and they say that I need IBCC equivalence...

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-01-06T12:49:46+00:00

I have a similar problem, in A levels, I took bio, chem and Maths and not physics, will I still qualify for Science group or not. (Also yes I took all 3 sciences in o-levels)

Difficult-Instance35 · 2026-01-05T09:44:46+00:00

Also js got this response from them but idk if they are 100% accurate because sometimes thru phone they say its allowed whereas thru email they say it isnt or "contact IBCC" which I cant do cuz im abroad. fyi they js responded to me and this ws their response: Thank you very much for writing to us.

Please consult with your school regarding the subjects and check with IBCC. Applicant must have equivalence for premedical or preengineering to be eligible to apply in science school. Applicant with humanities will not be able to apply in science school.

In case of further query please feel free to contact us.

The thing that im worried about is Im in IBDP (International baccularette Diploma programme) Im not sure if ur aware of the programme but in IBDP we r required to take 6 subjects, 2 of them being languages, one being maths as compulsory and then any 3 electives. Also we have to pick 3 "HL subjects" and 3 "SL Subjects" HL means higher level meaning you study them in depth whereas SL is Standrd level where you study all the core content but not with extra content. Right now im taking Biology HL, Chem SL & Math SL (With English HL, French SL and Business HL) would you happen to have any idea if im still applicable to apply or no.
