I'm not lost, I just appreciate some advice.
With this combination:
Bio HL
English A1 HL
Econs HL
Math SL
Chinese B SL
German SL

What possible courses can I pursue in universities worldwide?
Specific universities and requirements would be a gladly-appreciated bonus for me.

Thanks so much :rolleyes:

Economics. Personally I think would be a very good degree for you to have.

Any of the social sciences or humanities and languages

Or Law (with German) :biggrin:

Biology, English, a BA in Economics (a BSc if you have a convincing PS and a strong maths prediction), possibly study the languages you've chosen, Law, social sciences (Sociology, Criminology, Anthropology, etc), Accounting & Finance, Politics, Politics/Philosophy/Economics (PPE)

So yeah, you have a lot of courses, and I would list requirements and the like at specific universities but there's just too many courses to look at! You can check ucas.com to check English university requirements, and your course selection wont stop you from studying anything in the US as far as I know (your highers and their grades count as 'college credits' basically). I think it's the same in Canada, but you may have to check the universities' websites.

Hope that helped!

That helped :smile:
I have narrowed down as seen. However, isn't Chemistry required along with Biology in order for one to qualify for courses in Sociology, Criminology, Anthro?
As far as I know, Chemistry (nearly) always accompanies Biology in prerequisites. This is most prevalent in Medicine course:s-smilie:

Sociology, Criminology/etc aren't medicine courses; they're social science courses (This is similar to the difference between a psychology and a psychiatrist; a psychiatrist did a medicine degree and then did a specialisation in psychiatry, whereas a psychologist did a psychology degree/etc). So no, I doubt your lack of chemistry would have any difference.

Chemistry definitely helps - any reasonable Bio degree these days has an introductory module to chemistry for biology - but you'll be okay without it and you'll be brought up to scratch in the degree. Medicine degrees usually want chemistry because they really don't have the time to teach students the basics of chemistry they need (even if they don't use that much chem) to understand biochemistry, physiology, etc.

In short, your higher choices have opened doors for a lot of subjects and I'm sure in a year's time you'll know what you like! :smile:

Wasn't there some guy on this forum who achieved 45 ib points but got rejected from Cambridge (or somewhere like that, maybe LSE) because he only had Maths SL?

Something like that. But we don't know that it was for thaty exact reason do we? Obviously there will be far less competitive courses than Camrbidge economics ?
