Hello CC!
So first of well, I’m not planning on majoring in neither; I actually have a love for business and econometrics (they don’t offer AP Economics at my school, unfortunately :(). I, however, am doing very well in AP US History, and I find that class very interesting. I was set to take AP World History, but some of senior friends (I’m a junior) said that AP Psychology is far more interesting and I’m going to really like it…
Help?
I’m going to assume that it’s not possible to clear room in your schedule for both?
I’d say take AP World - just saying, it seems that you enjoy AP US History now.
AP Psych is a lite AP course (i.e. it’s one of the easiest AP courses - and colleges know that). AP World on the other hand is a core class.
Are you required to take a World History class at your school? I’m just asking b/c it seems that it’s a requirement in some counties - people had to take some kind of World History class, whether it was regular/honors/AP.
btw, your profile pic is super cute 
Noemii - I’ve heard that AP Psych is actually harder? But I your understanding makes a ton of sense.
I’m already taking AP Literature and Composition and AP Statistics, so I don’t want to overload myself.
I’m not required to take World History, actually. Our school requires us take Government and History, so I took both of those in AP.
Oh, and thank you!
Sorry, let me rephrase that -
What I should’ve said is: “not all AP courses are viewed equally” by adcom.
You may have seen people on CC mention things like -
In a similar manner, AP World is considered to be of a higher level than AP Psych.
It’s true that at you / your friends / people you’ve spoken to may have found the course due to personal experience. I can’t deny that AP Psych will require a lot of work - at least based on what I’ve heard. But so will AP World.
Most of my friends (who took Psych) would agree that class is fun - at my school, AP Psych is the “fun” AP class. At my school, AP Psych is the only AP course that has no requirements, so a lot of people can easily take the class. But consider that a lot of students don’t like history courses, although I’m a history junkie, so I love all my history classes (and am clearly biased a bit, here 
)
You probably won’t have to “overload” yourself regardless of which you take, so you don’t need to worry about which will demand more work 
@noemii I ended up taking AP World History, thank you!
