<p>I am a junior in ap bio, I took honors chem last year, living environment 9th grade, and earth science 8th grade.
Next year I was thinking of taking ap psychology rather than physics. I know it is a social science and not a natural science, and I am also taking marine bio as an elective.
I heard it looks bad to graduate high school without ever taking physics is this true?
I heard ap psych was hard but kids who previously took so bio like me said he class was a breeze. I'm not sure as to wherever or not I'll think physics is difficult.
Also, if I do choose physics I must choose between ap physics 1 or honors/ regents physics. </p>
<p>Colleges do look for Bio, Chem, and Physics, but it’s not the end of the world if you’re missing Physics 
AP Psychology is easy (well, the material, but maybe your teacher is just hard). To be honest with you, Physics is more important than AP Psychology. Maybe you could take both AP Psych and Physics?</p>
<p>I would suggest physics over marine biology. Top colleges prefer to see bio, chem, and physics. Marine biology is not usually seen as a rigorous course.</p>
<p>Yes I agree, marine biology is just meant to be a fun easy class compared to the rest of my AP’s, so for this reason I would not replace it with physics because it is supposed to be an easy elective, not my main science. I would however consider dropping ap psych to take physics. </p>
<p>I forgot to mention, I am also thinking of majoring in something bio related, possibly as a pre med student. I’m not positive if this is the path I will take, but is feel psych has a lot to do with that. Does this sway your opinion at all or do you still think colleges would prefer physics? </p>
<p>No, it does not sway my opinion. You can take psych once you get to college, or you can take psych instead of marine biology. The workload for psych is not that bad, but you might want to check with students currently in the class to be sure.</p>
