Help me guysss
This is how my schedule looks for next year at the moment:
English Honors
APUSH
Honors Precalc
Spanish 4
AP Biology
Journalism
Im self studying AP Chem, Macro, Micro, and Comp Sci right now and will take those tests in May 2015
But some people told me that Chemistry is a class that might look better taken in school than self study so I don’t know what to do now. Should I take the test and still take the class next year so I’ll have it on my transcript? If I did that then I could replace Bio with Chem and take the CTY AP Bio class and take the Bio test next year
If your school offers the class, colleges will prefer that you take the class vs self study. However, if you are so far into Chem self study, it does not make sense to take the class after the exam. Just be aware that any self study will carry little to no weight in the admissions process, but you might get some college credit out of it.
If an option, I would to AP English Language in lieu of English Honors, otherwise it looks fine.
If I’m going to applying for a Pre-med major, then would it be worth taking the class next year? I’d still take the test this year because I’m so far into it, but I’d take the class just to put it on my transcript
There is no pre-med major at the vast majority of colleges. In addition, most colleges do not admit by major, so taking the course after taking the test is, IMO, pointless.
FYI, many med schools will not accept AP science credits as fulfillment of prereqs, so you would either retake in college, or take an add’l year at a higher level.
