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??

Did you get in CH?

My son got accepted into College of Engineering without any Physics in high school. He just could not fit it into his schedule. Did you get accepted EA?
