<p>I'm going to be a senior this year in high school. On Monday, I need to make my schedule. However, I'm having hesitations. I want to major in secondary education and history. With that said, here's my definite schedule:</p>

<p>1- AP Government
2- AP English Lit
3- College Italian
4- College Spanish
5- Psychology (general)
6- Animal Behavior (honors)</p>

<p>I was recommended to take AP Stat, Calc and AP Environmental as well. Naturally, not all these classes will fit in my schedule. I took Pre-Calc last year and passed. How important is it that I take a math senior year if I'm going to major in history? Will I have to take it in college to fullfill a gen ed requirement or something?</p>

<p>Should I take AP Stat instead? </p>

<p>Oh, and if I take an honors level elective that I find fascinating (an. behav.) instead of an AP science, will that significantly hurt my chances? I've already taken 5 APs and passed all of them.</p>

<p>Bing requires a math class as a part of the gen. ed. curriculum. If you feel that you won’t be able to handle a college level math class, take an AP math in high school, pass the AP exam and get the req filled. </p>

<p>Bing does not have an undergraduate education major so you’ll only be able to major in history. The only math class you’ll have to take is the one for the gen. ed. req. </p>

<p>If you find it fascinating, take animal behavior. You’ll regret it if you don’t. Bing cares more about SAT/GPA combined with course rigor (if you’re certain you took s tough schedule in HS, you’re fine. You’re already taking a few APs senior year anyway) so don’t worry about not taking an AP science.</p>
