<p>I am going to get **** from my GC for not taking a math next year, but it’s either math or science and I enjoy science much, much more than math.</p>
<p>AP Physics B
AP European History
AP English Lit
AP Government/Macro
Newspaper
Newspaper</p>
<p>I have to take Newspaper twice next year in order to be editor in chief.</p>
<p>I have already taken Gifted Alg I, Geo, Alg II, and am now in pre-calc.
Brown recommends 4 maths, which I have. I’m stessing out over math and I don’t see why I should take it but I can’t help but feel that I need to take some kind of math become everyone I know is going into Calc. Let me know if you think this will hurt my chances because I have the recommended math credits and I’ve struggled with gifted math forever. I will have like 10 APs by graduation so it’s not like I’m slacking. </p>
<p>THANKS.</p>
<p>Calc is an essential class along with Physics that many schools look at. Taking Calc and Phys shows a rigorous coarse load. Taking precalc looks pretty pathetic, even if Calc is not interesting to you.</p>
<p>i dont see why it should matter if you dont want to major (concentrate, whatever) in math</p>
<p>I don't think I'd get recommended for calc anyway and I'd end up in something like college algebra. It's an "honors" class but I think it would be better to take AP Physics instead of a "cop-out" class for people who can't handle calc.</p>
<p>You know?</p>
<p>And also if I did take Calc I'd end up struggling for a C and failing the AP exam. Well, I'm being pessimistic as hell but that's pretty much my fear.</p>
<p>If you cant even get recommended for calc I doubt you'll get into Brown anyway.</p>
<p>I have a similar question. Which science progression would look better?</p>
<p>Plan A:
Honors Biology
Honors Chemistry/Physics (Semester of Each)
AP Biology
AP Chemistry</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Plan B:
Honors Biology
Honors Chemistry/Physics
AP Chemistry
Honors Physics</p>
<p>I personally dont like Physics and would much rather take another ap class in a subject that I enjoy rather than an crappy honors class in a subject I hate.</p>
<p>plan A is better because the classses get harder as u get older</p>
