<p>Yeah um I don't really like physics at all and I don't look forward to taking any class in it. However, is it true that top colleges (HYPSM & Ivy) look for physics courses? ._.</p>
<p>Well if you go to MIT you’ll HAVE to take tough introductory physics, so you probably should get used to the subject a bit earlier so that you’re prepared. Plus you’ll find it’s very stimulating and that it requires thinking skills you should develop.</p>
<p>yes. in fact, a lot of schools even require it.</p>
<p>noooooooooooooooooooooooooo</p>
<p>How do you know that you don’t like it if you haven’t taken a class in it?</p>
<p>^ Well, I haven’t taken an “official class” on it but, in 8th grade, my teacher taught us a lot of physics with all those stupid motions and momentum and stuff.</p>
<p>God I hated it so much.</p>
<p>I also hate physics… (In engineering school, have to deal with some Physics)</p>
<p>Yeah, take physics. Deal with it.</p>
<p>While not required, physics is recommended. If you do anything science- or engineering-related in college, you will have to take physics. Also, if you attend MIT, regardless of your major, you will have to take two calculus-based physics courses, I believe.</p>
<p>dangit. If I have no room in my schedule but take a Calculus based University physics course at my CC, would that be ok?</p>
<p>Yes, I imagine that would be preferred to Physics C or IB Physics.</p>
<p>Apparently, CalTech wants you to have 1 year of physics. [Caltech</a> Undergraduate Admissions: Freshman Applicants](<a href=“http://www.admissions.caltech.edu/applying/freshman]Caltech”>http://www.admissions.caltech.edu/applying/freshman)</p>
