APES, AP Bio, AP Phys B

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I am currently a sophomore in high school deciding what classes to take next year. I am currently enrolled in:
Honors Algebra II/Trig
Video/Film
Spanish II
AP World History
Honors English 10
Speech and Debate</p>

<p>I am trying to decide whether to take APES, AP Biology, or AP Physics B as my science next year. I am going to take one of these three junior year and another senior year. I was wondering which of these three I should take for my Junior year to impress colleges. Here is the rest of my junior schedule.
Honors Precalculus
AP Spanish
AP English Language
AP US History
Advanced Video/Film</p>

<p>I love English and History, so those will not even feel like APs to me because they will be so fun. I am also good enough at math to get an A in Precal. I am just wondering, with this schedule, which of the three sciences is the best choice.</p>

<p>I would take AP Bio. AP Physics will be easier if you take it with Calculus, and APES is considered a soft science class by most colleges. AP Bio is challenging but as long as you stay on track with it you should be fine.</p>

<p>What I forgot to mention is that I took Biology in 9th grade and got a 98. So with some more effort, I should be able to get an A in AP. Thanks for your answer!</p>

<p>I would take AP Bio, for sure. I’m a sophmore too and I’ve taken Physics, and am currently taking both AP Bio and APES. Physics is challenging and ought to be taken with calculus, and APES is kind of considered an “easy A” by colleges. (I’m only taking it cause my school is STEM based and requires it.) AP Bio is challenging but you should do fine as long as you put in a little effort. Good luck! :)</p>
