AP Bio is a difficult class, especially at my school because the teacher is strict. I am very INTO biology and want to major in Bio or Bio-chem. I don’t even know if there will be AP Bio at our school because they need 20 stu to make a class, but they are offering it. Next year, I am taking AP Psych, AP Cal, AP Gov, and AP Bio-or APes. My sister has been asking her friends at UCLA, and most of them suggest I should not take it since it is difficult to pass the AP test and it does not count for my major.
I am planning to apply for UCs… is it bad on my college application if I apply for Bio major and don’t take it in high school when there is one?
AND VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION: I am fast learner and good at memorization. Do you think I will do well in college Bio classes without learning the background concepts in AP Bio first? I am afraid of staying behind.
Thank you!
