Junior Year Class Selection Help

Pre-Med & Medical School High School Student Topics
1

So I am choosing my classes for my junior year of high school soon and can’t decide all of the classes I want to take. The classes I am taking for sure are Orchestra, AP English Literature, AP Spanish Literature, and AP Calculus B/C. The 2 spaces for classes I am unsure on taking are between AP and P US History and between AP Physics or AP Computer Science. The AP science class I don’t take this year I will most likely take senior year.

This year I took/am taking are Orchestra, AP Spanish Language, AP Chemistry, H English 10, H Pre-Calculus, and last and definitely least, P World History. I was bored out of my mind taking Prep history this year, but I know the AP class next year will be a lot of work.

I want to major something related to engineering, but don’t know exactly so my counselor recommended to take AP Physics my Junior year and AP Computer Science my Senior year because it will look better in college applications that I have already taken AP Physics (and hopefully a good score on the AP test) Most of my friends (who are one year ahead of me because I skipped math and science classes) would be taking AP Computer Science next year so I’m not sure if it’s worth it to take it next year or my senior year

I have asked this to many different people, who have all said different combinations of the classes, so I just want some extra input.

If you are planning on majoring in something related to engineering, I would definetly take AP Physics junior year as, AP Computer Science along with your other AP’s will be to hard to handle with SAT’S during junior year.

But it depends on your capability as well. I would listen to you counselor as they have probably seen millions of students who have been on the same boat as you are now.

Also, if you do not enjoy taking History, you shouldn’t waste your time if you want to become a Physics major. Take a career builder class instead… STEM Engineering (if it’s offered?), AP Computer Science Principles?
