I am not planning to major in science, I plan on majoring in anthropology or political science. Most colleges I am looking into say they require three to four laboratory sciences. What exactly does this mean? I have taken the following science classes: science concepts and intro to lab science (required freshman classes, honors biology, astronomy, genetics (advanced biology), and honors chemistry. Do these classes count as laboratory classes. I was unable to fit a physics class into my senior year schedule. Would top colleges still consider me although I did not take physics?
@winter08 laboratory science just means a science class that also has a lab as part of the course work.
It is usually preferred to have all three of biology, chemistry, and physics.
What would prevent you from taking physics?
Most top colleges want to see the three main sciences: biology, chemistry and physics.
But, in regards to your question, “laboratory science” means a course that has lab work as part of it. Most science courses include this work anyways.
I was unable to schedule it into my senior year schedule it would not fit. My school also has a very bad science program, i do not want to waste my time when I could take a class that will benefit me in the future. Will colleges not accept me if I did not take physics.
