Economics or English HL?

Hello,

I'm totally stuck in here :s

I will be starting my first year in IB in a week and I will really appreciate your advice regarding the following:

I am interested in Engineering/Economics and I will be probably studying in the US. My subjects are:

Maths HL
Physics HL
Economics HL/English HL (have't yet decided)
Economics SL/ English SL (based on which one is HL)
Psychology SL
French SL

I am really good at English, but at the same time It is more probable that I would be majoring in economics. I also know that I don't have to take Economics Hl to study economics at university (Only Hl maths is required). So I am looking at what will give me a better grade. Do you think I should take HL english or economics?

Also, what else can i be studying with these subjects that I chose?

Does it make me less favorable if I don't have english HL?

Thank You so much in advance :smile:
