I am deciding between AP Gov and AP Econ for my senior year. AP Econ is both Macro/Micro… I am planning to major in Finance. I am, however, taking the AP Macro test this year as my schedule is not that difficult (AP Physics/APUSH) What do you guys think I should do? Next year I am taking: AP English Lit, AP Calc AB, and either AP Gov/Econ. I am looking at USC/BU/BC/NYU (ed)/UCLA/UCB/UCSD/UCI. Thanks!!
If you’ll already have Macro credit, Gov seems like a good idea. An entire semester would be redundant, thus killing any motivation to do homework and expediting the arrival of senioritis. Have you taken a non-AP government or economics course before? If you’ve already taken a government class, then Econ would be the better choice.
