So the IB is definitely okay for Engineering, Maths and Physics...?

Ok...but what about all the things they say about not doing enough maths or not doing enough mechanics...?

where have you heard this?

but I have also heard that there isn't quite as much mechanics or statistics.

Yes, and is the really serious or just a small boundary which can be overcome...

They won't discriminate your application based upon the exam system you take.

Even if I am in the UK and had the opportunity to take A levels?

Thank you SunderX

I doubt it. If choose to take the IB you're practically 'locked in' into doing the IB. They understand the strengths and limitations of the IB courses and will give offers accordingly, but they will never ask for something that is impossible, and they probably won't ask for AEA's either. And a 7/7/7 in HL's is the highest anyone can ask of you, so if you get that it should be fine.

If you get a 7 in maths and physics, those subjects are definetely okay.

Do you know anyone who has acquired an offer for these courses who has done the IB?

Yes, I did. I took thesame subjects and had to get a 7 in both maths and physics for engineering.

If you don't mind me asking...what were all your IB subjects, which uni did you get an offer from and are you based in the UK?

Thank you.

I was based in a european country. I got an offer from Cambridge (only UKJ uni I applied to), took a foreign 1st language sl, english b hl, econ hl, chem sl, math hl and physics hl
