Pre-Med but no AP Biology?

<p>I am very interested in becoming a doctor, but I had to make a tough decision concerning my schedule. I had to choose between AP Physics C and AP Biology. I originally wanted to take Biology, but I heard that the AP Bio teacher here is awful. I also heard that the Physics teacher is amazing. I decided to take Physics.</p>

<p>Will the colleges care that I have only taken one year of biology, considering that I'm going to be a pre-med?
(9- Pre-AP Bio, 10- Pre-AP Chem, 11- AP Chem, 12- AP Physics)</p>

<p>Very few HS senior premeds are still premeds in four years. I can't imagine your college will care.</p>

<p>No, but they'd still like to see you show some interest. Of course, I'm talking about the very selective ones (top 25).</p>

<p>If you really like biology, then you should be able to pull an A no matter how bad the teacher. Just my opinion.</p>

<p>They want to see you taking hard classes, sure, but what are the odds that a college will care about the difference between AP Bio and AP Physics?</p>

<p>An extra AP might matter. But replacing one for another? I can't imagine that's very significant.</p>

<p>it won't matter at all becuz you have enough AP sciences and it's a good idea that you chose AP Physx over AP bio becuz physics is a lot tougher than bio and i am pretty you can pull off an easy A in bio in college without even trying. most colleges don't care that you took ap bio becuz it's so easy. trust me pre-med bio is not that hard, it's just a lot of memorization. i have taken it. colleges will acknowledge that you took intense sciences. most people don't get into med school becuz of chemistry and physics and it's a good idea that you got them out of the way, you will have a better understanding once you get into college.</p>
