So im kinda screwed lol. I’m a junior as of now and currently I am taking APUSH, AP Physics 1, and AP Microeconomics. Now I realized taking Physics was a big mistake, and instead I want to take AP Bio but now its full at my school. My counselor gave me two options, either take APES or AP Computer Science Principles(Computer Science A is not yet offered). I like both classes, so the question isnt which ill like better but rather which would look better on my resume. I’ve also asked my counselor if i could take AP Bio online so it would be nice to hear from those who have taken it online as well!
Correction: *Transcript, not resume
Are you taking one of the “big 3” sciences this year (Chemistry, Physics, Biology)? If not, you should. I would stick with AP Physics 1 if you’re not taking chem or bio on the side. Colleges want to see these 3 sciences for rigor. APES (which stands for AP Environmental Science btw) and AP CS are considered electives.
If you’ve not taken Physics or Physics Honors already, switch to those or stick with AP Physics 1.
Another possibility for you is to take APES or AP CS Principles could work for this year ONLY if you take Physics next year. (You need all three from bio, chem, physics if you’re aiming for a selective 4-year college).
