Law in europe + IB math HELP

Im starting DP next month and my current subject choices are:

Georgian (my native language) HL
English HL
History HL

Biology SL
Business SL
Math SL AI

My school only offers math SL AI and HL AA and i was wondering if choosing HL AA would give me advantages when applying to law courses in europe (like in UK, Germany, Netherlands).

I am not the worst in math but I'm certanly not best at it either. I ve struggled a lot throughout the extended math course in 10th grade and i often need time to understand certain math topics...

Hi, I'd say that sticking with math SL AI is your best option. Unis in the UK usually look at you HL grades and it will be a disadvantage if you get a low grade in HL math. Also, your current HL choices are really good, as some unis require an essay-based HL subject which is History and HL English is necessary for you to prove your level of English. However, some universities in the UK might not accept math AI sl, so you should check the requirements of each university you're planning on applying to. Hope this helps

Law universities don't seem to care about math grades. While the other person said your HL choices are really good - and they look great on paper - I want to stress that they're very difficult. English Literature HL, in particular, gave only 0.9% of students a 7 and not many students received a 6, either. Since most universities require at least 666/667 HL for law, I'd be quite careful.
