<p>I heard the other day that a few colleges tell prospective students on their websites that they should take European history. Would it hurt me if I didn't take European history but instead took a history class at Harvard extension school?</p>
<p>The way my school is theres only one AP European History class all year and it conflicts with AP Biology, which I really want to take.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>That AP Biology would be useful if you're interested in say, genetics. But if you're not then i would go with European History.</p>
<p>if you really want to take biology, then take biology. if you want to take euro, then take euro. simple as that. </p>
<p>remember college admissions (for selective schools, anyway) is not based on a checklist where the adcom is like, "ap bio? check. no ap euro? -1 deduction"</p>
