12th Grade AP Courses to Take?

<p>10th grade I took AP Euro and AP Psych and got 4s on both (got lucky on Euro because I barely prepared and never read the textbook, nor paid much attention in class). This year I took AP US, AP Statistics and AP Language. I thought AP US mc was pretty hard, and AP Stat free response was pretty hard, but I blame myself for cramming every test throughout the year. US history I just did not like really, found hard, and never read/had time/enjoyed the textbook. For AP Language (didn't take exam yet), I find multiple choice pretty hard on practice exams.</p>

<p>I want to go into biomedical engineering or medicine, so what APs should I take? I don't want to overload myself, but I don't want to take too few APs. I want to take APs that will help me in my future and look good to colleges like Johns Hopkins (#1 choice school for me, although I have high doubts I'll get in). What I was considering:</p>

<p>-AP Chemistry
-AP Calculus AB (can't take BC because in my school you need a certain class that I didn't take; I took College Pre-Calculus, which means highest math I can take is AB Calc)
-AP Computer Science
-AP Microeconomics or AP Government, maybe both</p>

<p>Comments? Suggestions? Too much? Too little?</p>

<p>If you want to go into biomedical stuff, why not AP Bio? And AP Chem is evil, just saying.</p>

<p>Add in AP Bio. It’s an awesome class, and an easy AP if you just memorize the stuff.</p>

<p>AP Calculus and AP [Science] are a must. Well not a must, but not only are they interesting, but they (most APs as well) open up a lot of options.</p>

<p>I say you take AP Calculus AB (self-study BC, it’s easy!) and AP Chemistry (Biology too). The rest are up to you, many self-study them but you’ll be taking a class, so I don’t know how much of a workload those classes at your school give. But remember that you’ll be filling out college apps, possibly studying for SATs, and having the time of your life :smiley: (expect senioritis too of course).</p>

<p>Sweet! yeah…I got in to Hopkins and I am so excited to be going there! You can do it lol
My ACT scores sucked lol but everything else was good :smiley:
I took these my senior year:
-AP Spanish Language
-AP English Lit
-AP Chem
-Calc AB (that’s as far as my school goes lol)
-Student Council (I’m VP haha so officers have a class period)
-Cheerleading 1st semester (I was the mascot :D) and Anatomy and Physiology second semester</p>

<p>I loved my schedule lol
I took ap biology last year though so I definitely recommend it if you haven’t taken it yet…I’m a huge bio freak haha
whatever you do…definitely take rigorous courses…Hopkins likes that :smiley: so you look like you’re on the right path! :)</p>

<p>You can just drop an AP class 2nd semester if you want to relax. Lol, I’m doing that. Work hard 1st semester, play hard 2nd semester :]</p>
