<p>I'm currently a junior who's taking ap bio and physics honors this year. I also had chem honors last year. I find chem to be easier but the teacher is unfortunately a bad teacher. The AP physics teacher is an okay teacher but she's a bit hard to understand at times. So I was just wondering if anyone has any useful input as to what class would be more beneficial for me to take as a senior.</p>
<p>What’s your intended major?</p>
<p>Which subject do you like better/have done better in: physics or chemistry?</p>
<p>AP Phys B or Phys C?</p>
<p>Do you intend to accept AP credit and immediately move on to higher level coursework when you begin college? Or will you decline the credits and repeat the class?</p>
<p>Well I’m not too sure as to what I want to be (I’m very undecisive which is one reason why I can’t choose between these two classes) but I definitely know that I want to major in a medical field (most likely cardiology).</p>
<p>I like Chemistry a lot more than physics. However grade-wise they’re about the same (A+). But I do find Physics to be a lot harder and a lot more challenging.</p>
<p>It will be AP Physics C. I might consider taking AP credit for physics and moving on to a higher course (if I do good in it that is); however I’m not too sure about doing that with Chemisty since the teacher isn’t exactly the best.</p>
<p>Also there is the possibility of taking AP Chem and physics together but then I’d have to switch out of AP Spanish and it might be a little overkill. </p>
<p>Also thanks in advance for the help!</p>
<p>You cannot major in cardiology. Cardiology is medical post-graduate fellowship program.
(Meaning you will not only need to have graduated from medical school, but you will also have completed a 3 year long residency [training] in internal medicine. Only then can you apply to study cardiology.)</p>
<p>You can major in any academic subject and still apply to medical school so long as you fulfill your medical school pre-reqs</p>

<p>My advice, don’t take the AP phys credit if you do decide to take AP phys C. Just don’t take the exam or don’t send the score to your college. Some medical schools won’t accept AP credit in lieu of actual college credits and the next physics course after Intro physics is Modern Physics and other upper level electives. Don’t do this unless you’re planning a physics major or minor.</p>
<p>Take AP Chem. Pre-med requires a year of gen chem, a year or so of organic/biochem, and some people do pchem. A firm chem background will be a huge help, and many pre-med programs use the AP chem score specifically for placement in intro chem. Many (most?) pre-meds will come in with AP chem experience.</p>
<p>Pre-med requires one college physics year (not calculus based). AP Physics C is way beyond the complexity of what you need for basic pre-med, and would land you in a very advanced physics class if used for placement. Most medical schools will not take AP credit instead of the college class.</p>
