AP Biology over Physics Junior Year?

<p>Hi. I was wondering whether it would be advisable to take AP Biology over Honors Physics Junior Year. I would eventually take physics senior year, its just that in my school the physics teachers suck so i dont want that to affect my junior year gpa. My AP Biology teacher for next year (if i take the class) is absolutely amazing. He won national teaching awards, met the President, and won a teaching award from Princeton University. I would love to be in his class.</p>

<p>The problem is that I will be applying to competitive colleges come senior year. I just don't want this to hinder my acceptance.</p>

<p>Do you think they will care? I mean, I will be taking physics eventually.</p>

<p>Your thread could have been my daughter in 2007…EXACT situation (even sounds like her teacher, except he retired)…</p>

<p>She took AP Bio as a junior (teacher was amazing as advertised) and took honors physics as a senior (with the worst teacher that ever taught)…</p>

<p>mind you, she is not a science major in college, but her admissions results were just fine…</p>

<p>I’m assuming you already took chem? you could always double AP Chem and honors physics as a senior…lots of kids here do that…</p>

<p>But in answer to your question, No, they would not care as long as you take physics at some point before you graduate…</p>

<p>It won’t matter since you’ll have physics as a senior.</p>

<p>I highly doubt it will matter unless you are applying as a physics or other physical science major</p>
