<p>So when i was in 9th grade at my former school, we had to take physical science. Then when i moved, my new school required me to take earth science in 10th grade (I took the honors version.) I'm in 11th grade right now and i'm taking honors biology. In 12th grade, i'll take either honors or ap chem. My question is, can i still get into a top uni without physics? Also, i'm thinking of majoring in either engineering or computer science.</p>
<p>If you are majoring in engineering, then not having physics will be a disadvantage. </p>
<p>It depends on schools. Some schools require 4 years of science classes and some only require 1 year of science class.</p>
<p>Do you think i should i take physics instead of chemistry during my senior year?</p>
<p>If you’re thinking about engineering, I would consider taking physics instead of chemistry senior year.</p>
<p>Can you take both Chem and Physics? </p>
<p>If you’re block scheduled, I’d take chem and physics. But, if you’re not, can you take chem online? Physics would be better to have, but chemistry is good knowledge to have.</p>
<p>I would recommend you take physics to have a solid foundation for both those interests- with the caveat that if you’re leaning towards chemical or biochemical eng or something in that vein, chemistry would probably be more crucial. </p>
<p>But ultimately, take what you want and what interests you and don’t let that get blotted out by worries about “top universities.” The whole obsession with prestige a lot of people have on this site is pretty toxic and only serves to soil authentic passion, imo. So do whatever excites you, invigorates you… you get what I’m saying. Then the college piece will fall into play naturally. </p>
<p>you’re kinda in a lose-lose situation. Top colleges want to see one year each of chem, bio, and physics. Many require this if you are applying for the school of engineering. I would look into a way of taking both. Maybe one online, or dual enrollment through a college?</p>
<p>
While true, colleges will also recognize the challenges caused by the curriculum requirements at the OP’s school, compounded by the moving of schools. </p>
<p>I guess i’ll either take chem online, or just take them both. I still have some time to decide.</p>
