<p>Gee, take what you want to take. If you are heading for engineering by all means take physics. If you are not interested in physics, take what your prefer. You have 5 other AP classes. </p>
<p>Take physics if you are going for engineering.</p>
<p>NOT taking AP Physics and going for engineering at an Ivy or other top school will mean you avoided it.</p>
<p>My son is going for computer engineering, and he was told that he needed both AP Calc BC and AP Physics to “be considered”.</p>
<p>Of course colleges know that APES is a “low ball” course, and unless you are going into the environmental field, appears to be an “easy A”.</p>
<p>What are you exchanging if you do put the work in to get an A in physics? Could you meet with the teacher regularly or a study session to stay on track?</p>
<p>You aren’t guaranteed admission to any very selective school, so what you do do probably does not matter.</p>
