IB choices for Bsc Geography?

Hi
I am currently undertaking the IB.
My choices are:
Geography HL
Economics HL
English Lit&Lang HL
Spanish AB SL
Sports Science SL
Maths SL

I am interested in dropping to maths studies SL as I am currently on a 5 SL and would be predicted a 7 at Studies SL.
All universities i have emailed including Durham say there is no requirement for maths yet none explicitly said it would or wouldn't hinder my application.

What do you all think? and have any of you have previous experience as regard Bsc Geography Degree application>? :smile:
Well, as long as it is not a requirement (perhaps also check their websites), then it shouldn´t be a problem. Math SL looks better than Math studies SL, but you have Geography HL, so I wouldn´t worry. Your overall grade is generally more important if uni´s don´t have Math SL as a requirement.

Thanks!
Yeah Universities have replied and said its not needed though not explicitly mentioned about the weight they carry for Maths level... either way I'm sure a higher total IB score would be preferred no?
Thanks for your help!

No problem :smile: Yes, I´d say that an overall higher score would normally be preferred.
