<p>Well I'm in a very limited school which offers 0 AP's and is strict on allowing me to take senior courses. To take AP Chemistry I need to take a more basic chemistry, if I take it in the upcoming year (my junior) I can only take AP Chemistry in my senior year.</p>
<p>Will it hurt me if I take AP Chem in senior rather than junior? (I want to go into engineering preferably mechanical.)</p>
<p>How can your school offer zero AP courses, but have an AP Chemistry class? Are you going to a different school to take it?</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh, ok. I see</p>
<p>Im taking it night school at a private high school.</p>
<p>I don't think it will hurt you, because your school does not offer AP's. I don't think it'll be a problem if you take it senior year.</p>
<p>But can you possibly take regular chemistry in the summer to meet your prerequisite for AP chem in junior year? </p>
<p>You can always study for the AP exam yourself (and since you want to go into engineering maybe you can consider other science-math areas like Physics)</p>
<p>I'm taking Physics and Calculus aswell as Number theory at EGYP (sp?). I might also take another Harvard Extension course.</p>
<p>I can take summer school but I received an offer to do research at the microcellular plastics lab at mechanical engineering in University of Toronto to work with a visiting professor on expandable bead-formed polyethylene so I think it would be more beneficial to me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What is EGYP? Never heard of it.</p>
<p>Its an online program at stanford that offers physics and math courses to high school students</p>
<p>Is there a community college or some high school near you that offers chemistry in the summer?</p>
<p>Again I could take it in the summer but then I lost my research oppurtunity...</p>
<p>Whats more important, research oppurtunity 350+ hours I can enter into a science competition, + ill be refreshed for winter to take Number Theory at the stanford EPGY including starting self-study on calculus</p>
