QUESTION PART!!!
I decided I don’t want to take Physics. I’m not trying to slack, I’m really not, it’s just that Physics is awful at my school and the teacher (I’ve heard - and there’s only one) is REALLY bad. A friend who is going to Dartmouth (crazy smart) has a C. So I’m kinda worried.
I know that second semester a B or a C wouldn’t hurt, but I’m the kind of person who would die trying to get an A and would ruin senior year in the process.
Would it be detrimental to switch from AP Physics to regular Physics? To counterbalance the change, I would switch to Honors ICM (College Math - harder math course) from my business law class so it wasn’t as bad. I want to pick up extra hours to start saving up to pay for college and I think it’d be a lot better for me. Would it be better to take AP Psych? And if I were to do that, should I take Honors ICM or regular Physics?
I’m applying to UNC Chapel Hill and NC State Engineering, both EA.
I know, Engineers should take AP Physics, I know. But my question is more would Engineering still accept me without the class. My stats are higher than their 75th percentile but I am still crazy worried and anxious. Please help??
