Choosing HS Classes...... Finance Major

<p>Hi I am new to College Confidential and did not know where to post this but here it is:</p>

<p>So I am choosing classes for senior year with the hopes of going to a competitive business program. I already took AP Stats</p>

<p>I am definitely taking:</p>

<p>Honors English
AP Calc
AP Economics</p>

<p>But here is my problem I have some choosing to do and have no clue what to pick in hopes of being admitted into a good business program for a concentration in Finance.</p>

<p>I have to decide between taking AP Physics, Spanish III, Ethics, Psychology, and Accounting.</p>

<p>My views on these subjects are that I am good at Physics and it is a very tough class but it has no help for a finance program. I dont mind taking it cause I enjoy learning but it is a lot of extra effort and could definitely (would definitely) bring down my other grades due to the work load.</p>

<p>Spanish: I only have two years under my belt (i know, i know) it just isn't my forte and neither is international business. Do I really need a third year? I am not applying to any liberal arts schools were 4 years is neccessary but I am looking at, U of Maryland (college park), Babson, RPI, UNC- Chapel Hill, Penn State, and James Madison.</p>

<p>Ethics: Great class I hear and probably a must for a business major but does it matter for application purposes?</p>

<p>Psychology: Does it help for business or my application? Seems interesting to me.</p>

<p>And Accounting: Do I bother take it know and switch it out with another class such as AP Physics?</p>

<p>I can take up to 7 classes but would prefer 6 classes to afford a much needed study. I really need your help and thanks for reading.</p>

<p>It probably doesn’t matter what classes you take. Don’t take Physics. I’m taking it and its a huge waste of time considering I’ll be majoring in Accounting. I would take Spanish III if I were you. When I visited my college they told us not to take business classes in high school. You’ll have to take accounting in college so there’s no point in taking it in high school. If your good at Spanish in hs you can test out of it and not have to take it in college, depending on where your going. </p>

<p>Also, get a part time job. You’ll like having some spending money in college, unless your parents are rich.</p>
