High School Courses to Take

<p>Im looking at Chem E as a possible major and I was wondering what AP science course I should take next year. I am a junior currently taking AP chem and regular physics. Should I take AP bio, AP physics, or both next year?</p>

<p>Chem-E students at my school don't require any biology, so taking AP biology for anything other than a transcript/gpa booster wouldn't make much sense.</p>

<p>What I would do (wish I had done) was take every AP class that had was a standard general education requirement (english lit/lang, micro/macro econ, calc/statistics, government, etc) and focus on getting 4's on those. I only got 3's, so while my GPA was boosted and my transcript looked better, I only got to use the calculus credit. This can help free up a lot of room in your schedule early on, which is REALLY nice. </p>

<p>Taking any one of the general elective/required type AP courses will be so much more beneficial for you than Biology, since biology may not even be transferable for credit.</p>

<p>As for the science classes, the chem-e's at my school have to take physics, so that would be helpful as well. </p>

<p>If you are taking a class to use the AP credit, check your potential schools to make sure they accept it (mine didn't accept Physics B credit) and really focus on doing well on the AP tests. If you are just doing it as a transcript/gpa booster or as prep for college then take all the APs you want.</p>

<p>take physics C</p>

<p>I would take both. It is encouraged for ChemEs to have an understanding of biology because that could be and area of employment for some people of this major. Physics will be helpful for any engineering major as a whole.</p>

<p>Chem E have to take a semester of Bio 1 or Biology for Engineers at my school</p>

<p>I think take AP physics would be the best choice between ap bio and ap phy</p>
