<p>I am in my junior year currently taking physics and intro to computer science . I am also taking precalculus . Next year, I plan on taking ap cal bc, ap lit, ap computer science, and either ap physics c or ap biology, or both. I intend on doing a computer science major for my college years. Which would help me more and why?</p>
<p>AP Biology would be useful if you plan on breeding a human/computer hybrid.</p>
<p>Neither but, if you have to make a choice, go with physics. Bio and Comp science are really unrelated.</p>
<p>physics. even though physics and bio are both really unrelated to compsci, physics will give you more math work, which will benefit you in a compsci major</p>
<p>AP Bio because you’ll be able to keep your grades up (physics C without prior calc exposure is really really hard.)</p>
<p>I thought most people take AP Physics C and Calc AB/BC the same year due to scheduling, no? </p>
<p>Either way, physics would be slightly more - if at all - relevant to compsci than bio.</p>
<p>Well, depends, if you’re interested in bioinformatics go with biology, obviously.</p>
<p>^^ The math track for most AP kids at my school is Calc as a junior.</p>
<p>Between those two AP Physics seems more relevant to Computer Science since it involves more math.</p>
<p>
^that 10char</p>
<p>I would take Physics C. (In fact, I almost had to make this same decision until Caltech admissions told me to take Physics C since a physics class is required for admission.)</p>
<p>Physics C…</p>
<p>What do you intend to specialize in in Computer Science?
There’s a variety of fields.</p>
<p>If OP says Bioinformatics, I will lol.</p>
<p>our school is never even able to offer ap physics c because we don’t have enough people who want to traumatize themselves (i’m in ap physics b right now btw, because i took ap bio last year. ap bio is really awesome) =( i think last year one person took it–don’t ask me how it was only one person.</p>
<p>Bioinformatics… bleh.</p>
<p>The only reason my chem teacher say he didn’t go into bioinformatics or physical chem was because he didn’t want to sit behind a computer for a majority of his career.</p>
