How does this look to colleges?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi. </p>

<p>I'm currently a sophomore, and I'm enrolled in Chem I and Physics I. However, I've already done SAT II Chem prep, which is more advanced than Chem I, and the Physics teachers sucks. I plan to just self study Physics. The math/science school I'm going to in my junior year will allow me to test into AP Chem and AP Physics C without a year of chem and physics. I will replace chem and physics with AP Euro and Speech/Debate class, respectively. My question is, does this look bad?</p>

<p>No, as long as you get the credits somehow you should be fine. A lot of colleges only require 2-3 science classes with lab components anyway.</p>

<p>So it won’t look bad to the top colleges or anything?</p>

4

<p>yes…bad.</p>

5

<p>How so?</p>

<p>Please elaborate. I need to have a decision by tomorrow.</p>

<p>I’d be surprised if colleges noticed it in the first place. Even then, there’s almost no chance that it’ll hurt your application.</p>

<p>Ah, I see.</p>

<p>My plan of progression for science is </p>

<p>Biology I, Bio II (both already taken), AP Chem, AP Physics, Organic Chem, and Intro to Biochem (highest level of science I can get)</p>

<p>I’m also going to self study AP Bio this year</p>

<p>I was just wondering whether not having Chem and Physics I would hurt it.</p>
