<p>Hello, I want to major in accounting and have already taken Honors Bio, Honors Chemistry, and AP Bio. Because science is not directly related to accounting and math is, I would like to know if I should make a switch. I'm going into my senior year and would like to take AP Statistics instead of AP Chemistry (I already got into AP Chem., but I can still change it) which means I would be taking two math courses my senior year (AP Stats. and Calculus Honors) which would bring me to a total of 6 math courses over my high school career. I feel that I might struggle with AP Chem and do better in AP stats because of my already rigorous senior schedule.</p>
<p>What should I do? Would it hurt me or benefit me to make the switch?
Thank you!</p>
<p>It depends what type of college you wish to attend. Probably the best thing you could do is complete the major science sequence by taking Physics. If you aren’t going to do that, I don’t see any reason not to take stats instead of AP Chem, since you’ve already taken honors chem.</p>
<p>Thanks for the response.
These are the colleges i’m interested in:</p>
<p>Wake Forest Univ.
U of Florida. (First Choice)
U of IL Urbana-Champaign
Indiana U Bloomington
Emory Univ.
University of Maryland College Park
U of North Carolina Chapel Hill
Purdue Univ.
Univ. of Georgia
U of Virginia
Coll. of William & Mary
Florida State Univ.</p>
<p>Does that change anything?</p>
<p>Each school will have its minimum expectations for prerequisites to admission. You can look them up online. </p>
<p>No, I agree. Physics would be my suggestion, but if you don’t want to do that, stats is fine.</p>
<p>Yeah I don’t really want to go into AP Physics because that teacher is really and I mean really bad, which would result in me teaching myself everything, so I will most likely go with AP stats. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Your current three years of science are unbalanced because you are missing physics. It is generally preferred to take all of biology, chemistry, and physics for your first three years of high school science.</p>
<p>So taking physics (not necessarily AP) would probably be best to make your high school science course work well rounded.</p>
<p>Ok so how does this look as a senior schedule: </p>
<p>Honors Physics
Ap stats
Ap Econ
Ap Gov
Ap Lit
Theology (Required)</p>
<p>In your first post, you said that you will be taking calculus. What happened to that?</p>
<p>Oh and Calculous Honors.
Ap Econ and Ap Gov are half year courses </p>
<p>Any reason the calculus course is not an AP course? The AP calculus AB syllabus is slower paced than college calculus, so it should not be excessively difficult for students who are a year advanced in math like you.</p>
<p>My school is very complicated when it comes to ap courses. In pre calc honors I did fine and finished with a 97 in her class, but no matter how good I did I couldn’t get into ap calc because when I choose classes the year before their were two teachers teaching pre cal and I chose the girl not the guy who also teaches ap calc. Because I didn’t choose him he doesn’t feel comfortable letting me take his class. I tried arguing and appealing the process but he is the department head and “makes all the rules”. I didn’t know by choosing her this would happen and now I’m basically stuck in calc honors. </p>
