Next year is my senior year and I require assistance picking between a few classes that would help with the following potential majors:
Chemical Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Chemistry
Biochemistry
Mathematics Or Statistics (Potential Double Majors or Minors)
Neuroscience (Tiny Tiny Tiny chance of actually becoming a reality)
Potential Minors
General Biology
Mathematics
Statistics
Environmental Science
Ive already taken:
3 Years of foreign language
AP Biology
AP Environmental Science
AP English Language
Honors Physics (I dislike physics and don’t want to take it in high school again)
Honors Chemistry
2 Biotechnology classes
Im going to take these classes: Honors Biotechnology III
Honors Biotechnology 3
Honors BioInformatics
Honors Biotechnology 4
AP Calculus AB
AP Chemistry
AP Literature
I have 2 more slots left and the potential candidates are:
AP Microeconomics
AP Psychology
AP Statistics
Choose the two classes that will help with my potential majors or will work well with my other classes that are already chosen.
P.S Don’t try to change my other classes there set in stone and the 3 biotechnology classes are mandatory for me
You’ll be taking “real” stats in college if you intend to major/minor in stats or math.
Also, your current schedule doesn’t have any social science, which selective colleges want to see senior year.
For these reasons, I’d say to go with AP Micro and AP Psych- but why not take AP Psych and a “fun” class that has very little homework? At this point, your admission will NOT hinge on this, it’ll give you some time to breathe, and you’ll need to handle the equivalent of an extra class writing applications.
If you dislike physics, avoid being a chemical engineer. Take AP Psychology as it most likely fulfill a class you may need when you go to college. idk if ap micro will satisfy a need in whatever your intended major will be so the second class can be AP Stats.
^colleges rarely give credit for AP Stats (because it’s not the equivalent of what is taught in college and that’s why I recommend taking it then, not to mention no one will care when you’re 21 and applying for a job what classes you took in HS whereas taking college classes “count”.)
Colleges may or may not give credit for AP Psych but it’ll be easy and it’ll give you an idea whether you might want to pursue a neuroscience minor.
