Hello, I am currently a junior in high school and I am in a sort of dilemma. Currently I am doing PSEO/Dual enrollment at a community college, and I want to take a biology class to fulfill the general ed biological course theme at the college I want to attend. The thing is, I took AP Biology in 10th grade with an A-, I did not take the test because it was last year when the whole school year was online and I didn’t want to take the test. But the thing is, I want to take “Introduction to Biology” for the spring 2022 semester at the cc I’m attending and I don’t know if it is going to look weird on my transcript? I took Introduction to chemistry this fall 2021 semester and I got an A, so I am done with my chemistry credits for both gen ed and my high school. So for the spring semester of 2022 its either I take biology for the credit or I take no science class. My guidance counselor suggested that I take “Biology 1” at the cc, which is biology for people who want to become a nurse and its on the same rigorous level as AP Bio, probably even harder, not sure? But I don’t want to take Biology 1 and would rather take Introduction to Biology because 1. I’m not gonna major in anything that needs biology, I just need the general education credit. 2. I am currently taking AP Calculus and Spanish 3 and APES at my Highschool, and I’m also studying for the ACT so I would rather take an easier bio class to not be stressed out. Also I don’t want to take it in my senior year because I am planning on taking physics at my Highschool for the whole academic year. But I don’t know if it is gonna look weird on my transcript if I took biology twice, and Im not even planning on doing anything with biology… I just want the credit to finish the gen ed requirement.
Sum it up: Basically I am worried if I take “Introduction to Biology” for spring 2022 semester in my junior year in dual enrollment is going to look weird on my transcript since I took AP Biology in 10th grade with an A- but didn’t get the credit. Should I take Intro to Bio, or Bio 1, or maybe just not think about biology until I graduate since I already took a one biology class in high school?
