Does it matter what order I take classes in (junior vs senior year)?

Applying to College

I’ve already taken AP Calc BC and I’m a sophomore. So, for science, junior year I can take either AP Chem + AP Bio and take AP Physics senior year, or I can switch it around and take physics junior year and the other 2 senior year. Will colleges care about the order I take it in?

Like, since they don’t see my senior AP test scores, would it be better to take chem/bio junior year? Or do they care as long as I’m enrolled and have good grades 1st semester?

I’m pretty busy w/ extracurricular activities junior year, so I thought taking 1 AP science class might be easier (granted, physics is more difficult, so not sure if it would really lighten my load)

They don’t care about the order at all. Like you said in the second and third paragraphs of your query, it’s best to structure the order based on what you feel is best for you.

The order in which you take your courses makes no difference.
