AP Euro vs AP Human Geo

Do colleges care if I take the easy way out and take geo?</p>

<p>Bump</p>

<p>Directional public colleges - No</p>

<p>Top 50 colleges - Yes</p>

<p>Definitely AP Euro! </p>

<p>APHuG usually to never is given credit to most colleges while APEH usually does give you credit, so I would also consider that.</p>

<p>It won’t matter as much whether you do which one because both are APs, so I would go with whatever you’re more interested in; I wouldn’t take APHuG beacuse it’s “easier”. They both have give a similar amount of work at my school, so choosing whatever one you’re more interested in would make it seem like it has less work than the other</p>

<p>AP Euro. I have used the topics as examples in my SAT essays. And its extremely interesting if you want to learn about: French Revolution & Napoleon, Industrial Revolution, Cold War & Globalization.</p>

<p>APHG is widely known as an “easy way out”… if you have to, take it to boost your GPA. </p>

<p>AP Euro is not a hard course. Yes, there are occasionally boring chapters like social and cultural movements. But overall, it is a fun learning experience. Test was not that hard. It was comprehensive though very broad.</p>

<p>Well I’m also taking AP Bio and AP Physics along with other standard classes, so that’s why I’m hesitant about euro…bio and euro simultaneously might be too difficult. Idk…?</p>

<p>I suppose that’s really dependent on the quality of your teachers. Try to ask around about the AP Euro teacher and start to manage your time efficiently.</p>

<p>@NorthwesternHPME Well I’m guessing that you’re not a fresman b/c you’re taking two science APs. If so, I’d still go with Euro. AP Physics 1 is a half semester course taught as a full year + It’s for people who haven’t taken a Physics course yet so I’d just treat it as an honors. I know plenty of people who took both Euro and Bio and they were fine work wise. I’d only worry about amount of work if all 3 teachers are notorious for giving a bunch of work. Otherwise, I’d say it’s manageble </p>
