<p>I am currently a sophmore taking all honors except french and USH 1 because my school does not offer AP's for sophmores. I was doing scheduling for next year and I have all honors and AP's for Lang and Comp and also Statistics. I look to pursue engineering or business.</p>
<p>a) I am a poor history student but I was wondering whether a 3rd AP is vital, and if i should take AP US 2 from regular or not. Does an AP history mean anything for engineering or business?</p>
<p>b) I am very annoyed that i can't fit AP chem in my schdule. Should I drop my 3rd year of language to take AP Chem and then take a language senior year? I felt it is vital to show an AP score for engineering.</p>
<p>c) What other AP classes should i look to take for business and engineering? My school offers no business related AP's. I was thinking Stats, Lang/Comp, Lit, Calc BC, Gov, Chem, Physics C so a total of 7, but only 2 junior year! My school also offers Calc AB, Euro, Environmental Science, bio, and languages. I will definately not be able to take a language though.</p>
<p>Please help me as my course selection needs to be finalized within the next couple of days! Thanks in advance, ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED!</p>
<p>Calculus BC and English (check universities to see if they prefer Language or Literature; they usually won’t give credit for both, though you can take both to get two chances to get a high score) are usually the most useful for subject credit purposes at universities that accept AP.</p>
<p>For engineering majors, Chemistry and Physics C are useful for preparation for university level courses, although not all universities accept them for subject credit for majors.</p>
<p>Economics (both micro and macro) may be accepted for an introductory economics course for business majors. Statistics may be useful for business majors if they accept a non-calculus statistics course, but not if they require a calculus-based statistics course.</p>
<p>However, you probably do want to check to see how many years of high school foreign language satisfies admission and graduation requirements at the universities you are interested in.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My goals are NYU Stern, or any other top business school. If i am not puruseing business, my goal would be to attend Georgia Tech, UIUC, or any other top engineering program. The general requirement is 2-3 years of a language but is it better to have 3 or 4? I would still be able to take French 5 my senior year to complete 3 years, but does that look weak for business?</p>
<p>Also, my school does not offer Economics(Both Macro/Micro). I felt that this was vital for attending a good business school, should i take an online course or an independent study on this? </p>
<p>And lastly, I am less concerned about the credit I am receiving for college, but rather looking for anything that can help my admission process. I really want to get into a top 10 school, if there are any general tips please let me know. I have begun by starting FBLA(Future Business Leaders Of Amierca) at my school. Any other general advice, please let me know!!</p>
<p>Thanks! all help is appreciated.</p>
<p>Check the universities to see whether “N years of a foreign language in high school” actually means “Nth year of high school foreign language”. If the latter, then you presumably having finished French 4 (since you are considering French 5) would count as the 4th year, even if you started French 1 before high school.</p>
<p>As far as economics goes, you can take introductory economics in university; not having AP credit should not delay your progress in an economics or business major.</p>
<p>Note that at some universities, you cannot enter as a freshman declared as a business major; you have to take the business prerequisite courses and then declare, or apply to declare, the business major.</p>
<p>I was looking to research that but I kept finding a recommendation of 3-4 years of a foreign language, and many people have said that the years should be consequential. I feel that a year of gap between language could be a problem, however, applying to a top engineering school without having an AP science score such as chemistry to show could be a big handicap. I will speak to my GC and try to drop french for junior year, for I feel that 2 AP courses is very weak. </p>
<p>I realize i can take the introductory course for economics or business at the university, but I am referring to the admission process. Wouldn’t a business school want to see interest in business such as taking AP Macro or Micro? Should I take a summer course or online course to do Macro or Micro to show my interest for business?</p>
