Is my senior year schedule rigorous enough?

<p>We are only allowed 8 classes including a lunch. Here it is:<br>
English 4 AP Seminar Multivariable Calculus (AP multiplier for GPA, but no exam)
AP Biology 2 Chemistry 3-Organic (AP multiplier for GPA, but no exam)<br>
Statistics AP<br>
Lunch<br>
European History AP<br>
Mentorship (fall only) and Free Period (spring Only)</p>

<p>Should I switch European History AP to Physics 2 AP if I wanna be premed in the future? I plan to major in something like Biochemistry. I am also planning to switch the free period to Psychology AP, for the spring. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>1) Commas are your friend</p>

<p>2) Yes.</p>

<p>3) Switch if you want, shouldn’t make too much of a difference in admissions though.</p>

<p>Rigorous enough for what? If this is the type of schedule that most seniors at your high school take, then it isn’t rigorous. If it isn’t, and only a few can take such advanced courses, then it is rigorous.</p>

<p>Your science AP’s wont get you out of the premed classes so its virtually pointless to take any in highschool. Medical Schools want you to take your premed classes in college and not use AP credit.</p>

<p>And Physics, at least IMO, has the least to do with Pre-Med. AP Bio or Chem would be more useful.</p>

<p>Agree w/ donewithh. If you’re going for pre-med, a lot of colleges will make you take their intro science class anyways. AP Euro History might get you out of a intro history class, and then that will free up a class you can take to complement any science class you take in college.</p>

<p>take ap physics. ap euro isnt even offered college credit at some places and ap physics looks so much better on ur transcript and it is offered credit at many places.</p>

<p>

I think the point is not to get credit, but to learn all of the material before college so when it’s time to take the equivalent courses in college it’ll be easier to get As (high grades are important for medical school applications).</p>

<p>

1 year of physics is required for medical school applications, which is the same requirement as the other sciences (1 year of biology and 1 year each of general and organic chemistry). And it’s tested on the MCAT as well.</p>

<p>Anyways, what I’m most concerned about is the difficulty of the schedule. The workload might be really intense, depending on your abilities as a student. Multivariable calculus isn’t required for any medical school that I’m aware of, and most biochemistry major degree requirements shouldn’t require it as well (unless you do something like a chemistry major with an emphasis on biochemistry). Also if the schedule turns out to be too difficult would it possible to exchange the AP English class for a normal or honors one?</p>

<p>I think the course load will be fine. Ap physics is not really difficult or has too much work. All you have to do is understand the concepts and ure good :slight_smile: you’ll be fine and have a great yr</p>
