<p>I'm going into my senior year and I just got my class schedule. I am currently signed up to Physics. Regular physics. I am contemplating if I should switch into APES. Would colleges prefers to see physics on my transcripts? Do you think that it would be a big deal to switch into APES.</p>
<p>bump!!!</p>
<p>Colleges mostly prefer to see physics on your schedule as even regular physics is usually deemed more rigorous and important as a core science than APES.</p>
<p>APES is considered one of the easiest AP classes anyways.</p>
<p>I’ve been in APES for 2 days. So far so good, there’s a good amount of textbook annotations and a couple small assignments. It seems more rigorous than a regular class for sure. But so far I also like it a lot, it jumps into the topics pretty quickly.</p>
<p>My teacher also described it very well. She said it is easier than many AP classes but it’s still an AP class. I think that’s fair, in some other places it might be absolutely no work but here it seems like a real AP class</p>
<p>Hmm, a lot to think about. So, hypothetically, even if I got an A in the class and a 5 on the exam, taking physics would still be more favored??</p>
<p>I do want to take APES, mostly because it would help my GPA, but I don’t want to hurt my chances when the time comes for admissions</p>
<p>or applications, excuse me</p>
<p>Don’t take APES…I took it junior year and it was horribly easy…please take regular physics…I made a mistake not taking it… :/</p>
