Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>i hate math and science so i really dont want to take physics, but i hear it looks better and is probably a more important ap class
i've always been interested in psychology but at my school, it will be their first year so i dont know how well it will work out because it's the psychology teacher's first time teaching it. oh and i've never taking any other psychology class before</p>

<p>here are my other ap classes as a senior:
ap english
ap calculus ab
ap government
ap econ
i really only want to take 5 classes senior year, but i'm still debating on whether i should take ap mandarin or not.</p>

<p>Calculus is probably a good idea but if you like psychology and you think your major in college will not be a science or engineering, then take psychology AP instead.</p>

<p>my vote is for psychology :). It would be even if you liked math and science. But because you don’t it seems even more likely to me that psychology will be best for you. (Ap physics does not treat people well imo, espeically people who don’t like math and science).</p>

<p>Depends on what you want to study in college. In college, you will most likely take one or more psychology classes as a General Education requirement. I would recommend AP psychology. AP Physics only if you are going to study math/science in college. A lot of my friends who went on to major in engineering and other related math/science majors took AP Physics. Unfortunately, AP physics wasn’t offer at my high school. I’m surprised AP physics was offered. My physics teacher (hated her as a teacher but respected her as a person) offered the AP class after some of my classmates offered interest in it.</p>

<p>For pre-med, do colleges want to see AP Physics, or can someone take in it college?</p>

<p>@Foodlover001 It doesn’t really matter. Taking AP Physics B or C as a student in high school and passing the AP exam only means you can take higher level physics classes in college. Medical schools only will look for prerequisites and a good score on the MCAT. </p>

<p>To the poster: Take AP Psychology if science isn’t your thing.</p>
