<p>Hello,
I am a currently a junior who is having some senior scheduling issues...I am sort of considering a field in medicine and so hope to major in either biology or neuroscience, but I am uncertain as to the most preferable courses I should take as a senior. I have scheduled so far:
-Hons. English 12
-AP Calculus
-Hons. Chemistry 2
-Hons. Biology 2
-AP Government
-AP Economics Macro/Micro
-?? (Spanish 4/Physics/Political Science)<br>
As you can see, I have only 1 opening for 3 choices.. sticky predicament. I had initially planned to take Spanish 4, but am now debating on whether or not to switch to Physics. I understand that physics would be helpful in my intended major, but the only physics course offered at my high school is not exactly rigorous; mostly busy work. My history teacher is also starting a new political science class which is especially interesting to me, and though it will be thought provoking and challenging, (plus I would like this teacher to write me a recommendation), it is not honors or weighted. I am terribly lost and confused and probably blowing this out of proportion, but some advice would be helpful.
Thanks!</p>
<p>You don't need three sciences in your senior year. You have enough honors and AP classes to allow you to take whichever class you like. However, many colleges prefer to see four years of the same foreign language (although only 3 may be the minimum recommendation).</p>
<p>okay, but I was just worried that if I decide not to take physics next year, I would have no education in physics before college when majors in pre-med recommend a physics course. Would it be that big of a disadvantage if I decide to take the political science class instead of spanish 4? </p>
<p>Thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>It seems like you have already made your decision.
You deserve to have one class you truly enjoy and in my opinion you seem to truly want to take political science. Go for it : )</p>
<p>thanks for the input! I'm still worried that I'll be at a disadvantage without a physics course... but 3 sciences in one year would be a killer</p>
