Hi,
I already posted this thread in the high school section. But, I think this forum is more appropriate since I want to attend a UK medical school.
I'm an international sophomore student from Thailand. Currently, I'm taking chemistry, accelerated math, and AP biology,etc (I'm having straight A except for AP Biology: I got B+). Next year, for 11th and 12th grade, I'm planning to take IB diploma (4 HL, 2 SL). My initial plan is to either take (4 HL:Biology, Psychology, Math, Chemistry/ 2 SL: English, Thai/regular physics) or (4 HL: Physics, math, chemistry, psychology/ 2 SL: Thai, English.) However, I'm afraid that this might be too time consuming since I'm also in three varsity sport teams and am involved in many activities (debate, acting, environmental clubs, hospital volunteer, etc). Do you guys think I should take 4 HL and 2 SL (will it makes a difference) or just stick with the ordinary 3 HL and 3 SL? If so, what subjects should I take? Should I take HL Biology despite already taking AP biology or should I substitute HL Biology with HL physics? (I have no prior knowledge on physics but I am planning to take a summer course on it)
Thanks
