Question about early decision

<p>At the moment, I'm a junior in high school, but if I wanted to apply for an early decision for the CALS, would I be able to do it? My school is just adding AP Chemistry to its course quantity next year (too late to take it now), lacks AP Physics, and allows only students that take three years in science courses in the school to take AP Biology (seniors only, in other words). If I decide to take the Biology SAT, when should I do it? Also, will the admissions officers negatively mark me if I'm just taking AP Biology senior year?</p>

<p>P.S.: Disregard any thoughts of familiarity if you have any. Answer the question if you can.</p>

<p>cornell will take into consideration what your school allows its students to take. it won’t penalize you if you’re not allowed to take AP Bio unless you’re a senior.</p>

<p>take the biology SAT when you think you’re prepared, but it has to be by the Nov SAT date in order for cornell to get it in time if you’re doing ED.</p>

<p>As long as you take the hardest classes offered at your school and that they know your school offers those classes as the hardest, then you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>take the hardest course load you can and cross your fingers.</p>
