<p>So, my school just cancelled the only 2 science classes I was planning on taking next year--AP biology and Intro to Organic and Biochemistry--and I'm not really sure what to do now. I've already taken AP Chem, and regular biology and regular physics.</p>
<p>AP Physics will be offered next year, but I don't really like physics. I plan on going pre-med in college, and I really wanted to take AP Bio as a senior so I'd remember a lot of it in the fall as a freshman in college.</p>
<p>I want to get into one of the accelerated medical programs, but I kinda want to take classes that I enjoy (as in, not physics). Should I just deal with it and take AP Physics OR take Biology through the community college?</p>
<p>I'm also worried about seeing biology appear twice on my AMCAS transcript if I were to take biology through the community college and then again the next year at a regular college. </p>
<p>Any advice would be appreciated!!!</p>
<p>Personally I think the accelerated programs are not worth it, but that's just me. I have numerous posts around here explaining my position so do a search.</p>
<p>As for your worry about the bio showing up twice - it's all in your head. </p>
<p>If you get credit for the class from your college, then you'll just move on to the next course in the bio sequence. If you don't get credit for it, then it's not your fault the university of your choosing didn't accept it, so you have to take it again. They seriously will not reject you b/c of that. If you do start an accelerated program then it won't matter either.</p>
<p>If you're that worried about how it will appear on the AMCAS then just don't take it.</p>
<p>My advice, and it may not be either what you want to hear, or take into account your situation, but don't apply to an accelerated course, take the bio course only if you really want to, find a college that you love (for the right reasons - not b/c of how you think it will look to admissions committees or whether it is "good" for premed) and enjoy your senior year.</p>
