AP Chem or AP Physics C?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I am going into my Junior year.
My current schedule is
Differential Equations w/ Complex Analysis (A.P. Weighted)
Academic English III
Honors Global Studies
Gym
Honors Wind Ensemble</p>

<p>These are the options that I have for my last 3 blocks</p>

<p>Option I
AP Computer Science
AP Chemistry (double block)</p>

<p>Option II
AP Physics I
AP Chemistry (double block)</p>

<p>Option III
AP Computer Science
AP Physics C (double block)</p>

<p>Additional info:
I received an A in Computer Science I
I have taken Multivariable Calculus
I received an A in Advanced Chemistry
I received a B+ in Honors Physics
I want to go into either math, comp sci, med, or engineering</p>

<p>Can someone please help me decide which of the 3 options I should choose?</p>

2

<p>I would do option 3. With your math skills, AP Physics 1 will be a waste of time (its algebra based). But chem is also a lot of work, so I would offset Physics C with Comp Sci</p>

3

<p>Option I or Option III. Agree with above; Physics 1 will be a waste of time; Choose between Chem and Physics C and take the other one senior year.</p>

4

<p>option 3.</p>

5

<p>But I got a B+ in Honors Physics guys. Do you think I can still do well?</p>

6

<p>yes. trust me, physics makes a lot more sense with calculus. That may have been your problem too. How did you do in multivar? A lot of the applications of multivar topics are physics.</p>

7

<p>I ended with a B+. I self studied AB and got a 5 freshman year. Thats how i got in.</p>

8

<p>you should be fine then. Did you not do BC or calc 2?</p>

9

<p>No BC. Self Studied it. Basically went from Algebra 2 to Multivariable Calc.</p>

10

<p>■■■ how do you people do this</p>

11

<p>What major do you want to do, OP?</p>

<p>Also, @hailbo, for me, it was the cocaine and the work ethic. Mostly the cocaine.</p>

12

<p>It just seems to crazy to learn calculus by yourself, maybe I could but I would have to put less time watching NBA or something, maybe do things on the weekend.</p>

13

<p>I’m thinking of going into Med or math, comp sci, engineering. I can’t decide.</p>

<p>Have you thought about/done dual enrollment? Also, calc-based physics is only really needed for engineering, while chem is only really needed for Medicine, but AP Chem won’t be taken by medical colleges.</p>

15

<p>What is dual enrollment? What do u suggest I do then @apollo11</p>

<p>@sonofgod908‌ </p>

<p>It’s taking courses at a local CC or college while in high school. You can take actual college courses there and then transfer them out when you actually go to college.</p>

17

<p>Wow, I’ll think about it.</p>

It’s usually pretty affordable</p>
