Hey there! Im currently a high school senior and just recently moved across country from an IB school to an AP School. Unfortunately, the IB Chemistry Curriculum didnt’t match up properly with AP Chem, and I am 5 chapters behind. I want to go to school for Biomedical Engineering so obviously Chemistry is important, but I am also taking AP Lit, Ap Psych, AP Environmental Science, and AP Calculus BC. Additionally, I have never taken any chemistry class before, but due to teacher reccomendation was placed into advanved chemistry classes. I have taken AP Biology in the past and it was a breeze, and I got a 5 on the exam, but biology is my passion. I guess my question here is do i try to catch up in AP Chemistry, or take a regular chem course through my high school or the community college down the street? Given my schedule as is and working a full time job, I could lighten the load a little bit but is it worth it in the long run? Is it possible to get caught up in this class? I am a 4.0 student, and I really would prefer not to kill my GPA the year I am applying to colleges. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond, I appreciate the help!
what colleges are you targeting on? I would take the regular Chem given you have a full time job… I do not see a big difference on one single class…but then I do not work at admission…
