need help for picking senior courses

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm a junior right now taking AP Chem, AP BC Calculus, AP Statistics, Journalism (English course), Math team, a research class, and U.S. history. </p>

<p>For senior year I can't choose between these two options. The differences are in the beginning of the list. </p>

<p>Option 1:
AP Bio
AP Physics C
Linear Algebra and Differentials
Micro and Macroeconomics
Creative Writing (English course)
Math Team
Research </p>

<p>Option 2:
Electronics
Post AP Chemistry (a chemistry course taken after you take AP Chem)
AP Physics C
Linear Algebra and Differentials
Micro and Macroeconomics
Creative Writing (English course)
Math Team
Research</p>

<p>So basically one option has AP Bio and the other has electronics and Post AP Chem. I know that Post AP chem will look good since it shows I want to continue learning chemistry but it's not a real AP classes and a lot of people say you should have all three science AP's. </p>

<p>So which option should I choose/looks better? I'm interested in all subject fields and want to major in the sciences or engineering in college.
Thanks.</p>

<p>Numba 2. Unless you never took Bio at all.</p>

3

<p>Deux.</p>

<p>tanchar.</p>

4

<p>I took honors bio freshman year. But why would colleges like the second option better? I thought all three ap sciences look good.</p>

5

<p>Do what you love, man. F-ck the system. Sounds more interesting, anyway. Anyone worth caring about will care that you do what you love.</p>

6

<p>Okay can someone really tell me which one looks better. I already said I’m interested in both and can’t decide. I don’t want any “F-ck the system” stuff.</p>

7

<p>I gave you honest advice. I just chose to spice it up.</p>

8

<p>bump please</p>

9

<p>yeah don’t take physics C with bio. Please.</p>

<p>Number 2 for sure:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>AP Bio sucks. It’s just a bunch of memorization, where as chem and physics is more problem solving.</p></li>
<li><p>post AP classes look good for sure. I would venture to say post AP chem is much harder than AP bio, and colleges should know this. If not, try to get a letter of recommendation from that teacher, or have your guidance counselor make a note of it.</p></li>
<li><p>Colleges do not care whether or not you take three AP sciences. Colleges do know that AP Bio is the easiest of the three, so as long as you take (and do well in) AP Physics, I really think you’ll be better off. And, if you want to major in science/engineering, focus on chemistry and physics. You really only use intro bio if you major in bio, in everything else you look at the math/physics/chem aspects of stuff. Even if you do major in bio, bio is becoming more focused on the molecular and/or computational side, so chemistry (and math and physics) may be more useful than AP Bio anyway.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>However, if you like bio and really want to take it, then disregard everything I just said. You should really do what you love, and not what gets you into college. But, it does seem like you would enjoy number 2 better anyway, so, seriously pick that!</p>
