<p>And because of this, Admissions scrutinizes HS Chemistry closely. Highly recommend AP Chemistry. David, what is the difference between HS AP Chem and taking it at the local college?</p>
<p>“Chem is allegedly one of the killer courses @ USNA.”</p>
<p>Often referred to as the Plebe Killer!!</p>
<p>The difference between AP chemistry at my high school and chemistry at a community college is the grade I would most likely earn. The AP chemistry teacher at my school is notorious for failing students, whereas the chemistry professor at the community college is adequate enough to teach the subject thoroughly. What I would learn in both scenario is relatively the same, but the grade I will earn would deviate from each other greatly. But would taking chemistry at a junior college the summer before my Senior year be too late?</p>
<p>I’m wondering if this thread is a goose chase? How does one get to this point of investigaton and be asking about “Early Decision” @ USNA?</p>
