<p>I'm a bit conflicted about my senior schedule. Interest-wise I would prefer to take AP Environmental, but I'm not sure if it would look like I'm taking an easier option if AP Physics is also available. Basically I'm wondering if AP Physics would be considered a much more rigorous course than AP Environmental, just because physics seems like a harder science. Every other class I'm taking is college level if that's relevant. Any opinions on if taking one or the other would really make a big difference in how rigorous my schedule looks to admissions officers?</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, the AP Physics courses are more rigorous since problems require a lot more math (especially Physics C). I don’t think it makes much difference, but you might want to take the course that pertains more to what you want to major in.</p>
<p>I’m planning on doing a biology related major, so in that case would it be more acceptable to take the environmental course?</p>
<p>Some colleges prefer that you take all three of biology, chemistry, and physics in high school (they do not necessarily have to be AP courses).</p>
<p>I’ve already taken regents biology, physics and chemistry, and took AP Biology last year, so I have some background in all three subjects.</p>
<p>If you are interested in Bio then take AP environmental - it has lots of biology related stuff</p>
<p>You should also consider in which class you will likely get a higher grade 1st sem senior yr, depending on the rep of the courses & instructors at your school. Oftentimes AP Physics teachers, even at top public schools, are hit or miss. May be better to learn it properly at college.</p>
<p>AP Physics is about 50 times harder than the joke of a class that is enviro</p>
