Hi, I’m a rising senior who needs help with scheduling for the upcoming year.
I can’t decide whether or not to take AP Bio or regular physics. AP Bio could potentially offer college credit, whereas physics would fulfill the bio-chem-phys chain that colleges like to see. Both classes have certain benefits I could use, and I can’t determine which are better.
For context, I hope to major in anthropology. I haven’t taken a physics class yet, but I’ve been taking honors science courses for the past three years. And though I’ve considered it, I cannot take both courses at once.
My high school only requires 2 years of lab science and none of the colleges I’m applying to require physics. But my chem teacher did say that if a college had to choose between two students with the same stats/ecs, they would be more likely to choose the one that took physics.
