<p>I was wondering if this was a good senior schedule for next year and if colleges would commend it or look down upon it for certain reasons. </p>
<p>Honors English IV
AP Computer Science
UCONN AP Biology
AP Calc AB
AP Environmental Science</p>
<p>Should take AP/Honors Physics in place of Environmental because I haven't taken a Physics course yet (I wasn't eligible until this year or I would've taken one earlier). Will colleges look down upon me for not taking Physics? Also should I add a social study?</p>
<p>I agree, take AP Physics B if your school offers it. For AP Physics B all you need is pre-calculus knowledge. It’s really up to you, which one do you like better, the environment and how it affects us everyday, or the motion of matter?</p>
<p>B has trig in it. Take Lit if you want but if you aren’t for the endless book readings, essays, and MC, I say don’t do it. That’s why I’m not doing it. Had my fair share in Lang/Comp.</p>
<p>Well, The sciences each have 2 pd a week labs so, it takes up 7/8 periods. I left the last one open in case I wanted to leave early or come in late. </p>
<p>If Physics B is really that easy I may drop APES for it because APES was just supposed to be a fun class.</p>
<p>And there is no shot in hell I am taking AP Lit, I hate English with a passion and wouldn’t even be taking it if it wasn’t a requirement to graduate.</p>
<p>Well you’re still learning physics. I took APES last year and it was a lot of fun. Most likely didn’t pass the exam but it was an eye-opening class.</p>
<p>Physics B isn’t an easy class if its your first time taking physics. Of course it depends on the type of school you attend, but I’d say APES is considerably easier.</p>
<p>If you want to relax as a senior, take APES. However, if you plan on applying to an engineering or premed program (or an elite school), you should consider AP Physics. If your school offers it, you may find C to be easier, as its much less conceptual and much more mathematical (imo).</p>
<p>I would look at the AP Physics C forum in CC to get better testimonials (and see how people reacted as the year went on). I thought Physics C was harder. Just make sure you know how to derivatives and some other Calc functions.</p>
<p>Some colleges, like Carnegie Mellon ([Admission</a> > Academic Requirements](<a href=“Home - Computing Services - Office of the CIO - Carnegie Mellon University”>Home - Computing Services - Office of the CIO - Carnegie Mellon University)) require or recommend a year of physics, especially if you want to major in math/science/engineering. So I’d recommend either checking the colleges you’re looking at, or just taking physics in case if you’re not sure about your colleges/their requirements. It would stink if you really liked a college and then found out that they were looking for 3 years of science, one year in each area or something like that.</p>
<p>Fantasieky has a good point, I didn’t even think of that. Carnegie is one of my candidates so maybe I should take Physics in case I end up wanting to apply there. I’m just not sure if I want to sacrifice my only fun class :(</p>
