<p>I plan on pursuing a science (probably biology/pre-med) major in college, and I was wondering if the courses I am taking would show that I am interested in that subject. I am pretty strong in science, so I finished a lot of my sciences in my earlier years of high school, such as my sophomore and junior years. Is that a strength or a weakness (because I don't really have any sciences to take my senior year). I am still going to maintain a lot of science related extracurriculars, but do the following intended course selections seem appropriate for the major I am heading to:
11th grade:
1. AP Biology
2. AP Statistics
3. Scientific Applications of Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra (This is an AP course taught by our science supervisor and goes in depth with applying calculus to physics, biology, chemistry, economics, etc)
4. AP English III
5. AP Economics
6. Latin IV Honors
7. Physical Education
12 Grade: (assuming I meet the prerequisites by then)
1. Physical Education
2. Scientific Applications of Differential Equations and Complex Analysis (Similar to the Scientific Applications previously but more advanced and also AP weighted)
3. AP English IV
4. Latin V AP
5. AP Psychology
6. Honors Global Studies
7. AP Calculus BC or a Princeton University math course (if I take the BC exam Junior year)
8. Some required Art elective
By 9th and 10th grade I've finished these science/math courses:
1. AP Physics B
2. AP Chemistry
3. AP Calculus AB
4. Honors Biology I
5. Honors Chemistry
So basically, I've gotten A's in all the sciences I've taken rather early, so it's not like I've struggled, but looking at my senior year classes I really only have one pure science course. Maybe two if you count AP Psych. Junior year I have two pure sciences. Is that a problem? It's just that I don't have any other sciences left to take. Do I need to find a way to concentrate my schedule with more sciences, or is it fine? I don't want to make it seem like I am slacking off senior year or I am just taking a barrage of unrelated courses. Some of the history and art courses are required and I'll have exhausted my science/math curriculum. I don't really want to take Calc BC, because its basically the same as AB and I can still get a 5 on the BC exam with some extra studying, so I might just take the exam and not take the course. I've heard people in my school take math classes at Princeton University instead and I might consider that option. I definitely want to take a math regardless because I would only have three math courses if I didn't.</p>
<p>Don’t repeat calc. That Princeton thing sounds cool and would be a nice add-on to your resume.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about your senior year. Colleges can’t expect you to be taking science courses when there aren’t any left. As long as your ECs reflect your interests, then you’re good.</p>
