<p>I'm registering for my senior classes soon. The physics teacher at my school is not good, and I have heard from many others that they have not learned anything from that class. The teachers for other senior science classes are not great either. Because the science options aren't great at my school, I want to take AP Human Geography instead of a regular science course, as the teacher is much better and I would actually learn something. I plan on going into Pharmacy in college. I have taken three years of science so far, including AP Chem. If I do not take a science course I will have four AP classes. Do I need to take a fourth year of science? And does that class need to be physics?</p>
<p>You will probably have to take physics in college. High school physics is often advised before taking college physics.</p>
<p>In addition, having all three of biology, chemistry, and physics in high school tends to be looked at more favorably in admissions to more selective colleges.</p>
<p>Schools typically require 3 years of Natural Sciences, as a minimum requirement. For example, below is the minimum requirements for UF.</p>

<p>Research the requirements at any school you may apply too in your senior year. Have you taken AP Bio? If it’s available you should take it. </p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>It depends on the selectivity of the school. The most selective schools prefer to see Physics on the transcript. In fact, “take Physics” was the one piece of specific advice given at more than one info session we attended.</p>
<p>could you take Physics at a nearby college or cc instead of with this lousy teacher? check out this professor before signing up for his or her class. You’re going to have to take one or in some cases two physics courses with lab to get into most colleges of pharmacy, so you would do well to have had it as a high school student. Good high school physics teachers seem to be in high demand.</p>
