<p>As in do they give more respect to someone whose AP schedule included AP Physics rather than AP Psych or Environmental Science?</p>
<p>Do colleges consider AP Latin hard?</p>
<p>*P.S. For those who might ask why I'm asking, I'm currently taking AP Chemistry, which is presumably categorized in the "Hard" category. But it's not exactly working out for me, and I'd rather take AP Latin instead, so where does that fall in difficulty?</p>
<p>bumppppppppp</p>
<p>Probably slightly. Taking Chem is certainly more impressive than taking, say, Psych. I think Latin would be about the same or maybe a small step down from Chem.</p>
<p>Yes, I believe they do (but don’t quote me on that). AP Chem is perceivably harder because it has a lab component and thus takes up more time. However, I think Latin is one of the harder languages to learn too. It’s all relative. I think schools would consider Latin a “hard” language with respect to Spanish or something to that since Latin has so many complex “cases”. And yes, AP Physics would be harder than AP Psych and AP Environmental Science because AP Physics has a lab component and thus takes up more time. Psych deals mainly with memorization anyway.</p>
<p>Yes. Absolutely. Positively. No doubt. </p>
<p>AP Human Geography, AP Environmental Science, and AP Psych are seen as the easiest. On the contrary, AP Physics, AP Chem, and AP Calc BC are considered the most difficult.</p>
<p>I would assume AP Euro is also considered relatively easy?</p>
<p>So is Latin or Chem harder? Will I lose a bit of rigor points if I switch to Latin? Or can they not be compared since one is language while the other is science?</p>
<p>Being in Latin over Chem will not make a difference whether you are admitted into a college. Seriously, don’t stick with something that you’re miserable with just because you think it will look better in college admissions (especially if there’s the potential that you won’t even do well in the perceived "harder’ class).</p>
<p>ha, lesson learned</p>
<p>yea like the others said they most likely do, there are vast differences between AP classes at my school
ap comp sci for example might as well be a regular class. the grades are super inflated by excessive extra credit, with entire classes earning A’s, while more legitimate classes like calculus BC are based off a curve for some tests and extra credit is nonexistant</p>
<p>Well, yes but I doubt that will make a huge difference since AP classes across america WIDELY vary in difficulty at different high schools.</p>
<p>an extreme example would be physics b and c. but i think that ap classes should show your pursuit of and interest in intended major.</p>
<p>Euro would be considered the hardest history or social science.</p>
