<p>I took H Biology freshman year and H Chemistry sophmore year. I'm going to be a junior and I'm wondering whether I should take:</p>
<p>AP Biology and AP Psychology
AP Biology and AP Chemistry
AP Biology and AP Phsyics
AP Chemistry and AP Physics</p>
<p>you get the picture</p>
<p>also, I'm going to major in the sciences for sure and go into pre-med</p>
<p>forgot to add: my major issue is whether it would be better to take two science classes as opposed to one science class and ap psychology</p>
<p>I'd say Chem and Physics</p>
<p>I think you should have the big three sciences for most good schools: Chem, Bio, and Physics. Only take what you can handle (so you make sure that you do well). Taking AP Physics, AP Chem and AP Bio before you grauate would look great. AP Psych is not considered to be as rigorous as the other three AP's, but you need to decide what is important (your interests versus what will impress colleges). Lastly, if you are going premed, pehaps the big three will be better credit for you to achieve for moving on to more challenging courses in your major?</p>
<p>If you really like Premed you're gonna want Biology.</p>
<p>IMO here's what I'd do:</p>
<p>AP Bio + AP Chem</p>
<p>Then I'd self study AP Psychology and take AP Physics senior year.</p>
<p>Then I'd study Campbell's Biology book religiously and take the USABO Open Exam (Getting to Semifinals looks great on apps, Finals is basically in at anywhere). Depends what you like to do.</p>
<p>Right, because we should all take Olympiad exams just to get into college. Not, you know, because we actually like biology or anything like that. What a silly idea.</p>
<p>totally ^^</p>
<p>I'm still confused as to why the OP doesn't think that AP Psychology is an AP science...</p>
<p>I'd take AP Bio before senioritis strikes. Psychology can wait till you get symptoms - hey, that'll actually be relevant to the class!</p>
<p>"Right, because we should all take Olympiad exams just to get into college. Not, you know, because we actually like biology or anything like that. What a silly idea."</p>
<p>-well the OP made it clear that he/she wants to go into the sciences and go premed...I think it's a safe assumption that he/she likes biology...anyway it's just a suggestion, not something you have to have a stick up your ass over.</p>
<p>Posts #9 and #10 - LOL! :)</p>
<p>AP Bio and Chem and then AP phys senior year....</p>
<p>pkswmr- haha I have to agree with you.</p>
<p>thanks for the replies everyone!</p>
