HELP? Schedule for junior year!

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Course registration is going on right now in my school. So far, the classes I know for sure that I’ll be taking next year as a junior are:

AP US History
AP French
AP Bio
World Lit/Reading between the Lines [English]
Analysis Honors [Weighted]
aand Concert Choir.

However, I’m having trouble deciding something for my last slot. It’s mostly the choice between Physics Honors/AP Physics B [Weighted] and Computer Science. At my school, you don’t need to take a Physics class to take AP Physics C, which I will be taking in senior year. In addition, there may be a possibility that I’ll be interested in Computer Science and such in the future. However, I’m really not sure which one would be a better choice – after all, I don’t really know if I’ll really major in Computer Science, and Physics would apparently look good, since it’ll look like I’m well-rounded in all my basic sciences. Advice?

It doesn’t matter if you decide not to major in Computer Science - you may really enjoy computer programming! I think you could really go with either option; either way, it seems that you’ll get your AP Physics course done, whether it’s junior or senior year. If you take AP Physics C during senior year, you’ll look “well-rounded” in all your basic sciences anyways.

Are you sure that AP Physics C does not require a Physics class, and that you’re not confusing C with Physics 1 or 2? AP Physics C typically requires some calculus and Honors Physics or AP Physics 1 or 2. Check with the teacher to make sure. Also ask the difference between AP Physics 1 and Honors Physics (AP Physics B was phased out last year).
