Science Course Decision (Schedule Help)

<p>I'm making my junior schedule in approximately one month and I'm pretty set on all the courses I want to take. Except science.</p>

<p>I am an overall pretty good student in regards to science, I got a solid A in biology freshman year and currently am doing fairly well chemistry honors (have around a 92 or 93). I am divided over what science course I should take next year. I have narrowed it down to three choices:</p>

<p>AP Biology-I do not plan on majoring in science in college, but I am interested in biology and feel I would do well.</p>

<p>AP Environmental Science-a generally easier science course, but I would definitely benefit from given my interest in the environment. </p>

<p>Research in Molecular Genetics-the topic of molecular genetics is also very interesting to me.</p>

<p>For any of you with experience in any of these subjects, do you think you could help me?</p>

<p>Note: No AP Chemistry or AP Physics. I know I would not do well in either, I accept my limitations.</p>

<p>AP Bio would be the best one to take, and the fact that you’re good at Biology and have an interest in it is just an added bonus.</p>

<p>AP physics C</p>

<p>Depends - I’m in AP Environmental, and sometimes I wish I had taken AP Bio, just because APES can be almost too easy (I know that doesn’t sound like it makes sense) - but sometimes its a struggle to take an AP class seriously when you’re getting an A+ in it and you actually haven’t touched your textbook in two months… </p>

<p>But I do love Environmental Science in general - I’m considering Environmental Law (or Criminal Law) - so I thought an interdisciplinary science like APES would be perfect… Easy A, but a joke nonetheless.</p>

<p>@preamble1776 That is why I may be taking AP Environmental Science. It looks good on applications because it is an AP class and will be a GPA booster (especially with me taking difficult courses next year such as PreCalc and Spanish IV Honors). I love environmental science too and know that I would benefit from it.</p>

<p>I would go for Bio, more useful and fun :D</p>

<p>I do love bio…ahhh conflict</p>

<p>Aww :frowning: Am I going to be the only who’s going to suggest Research inMolecular Genetics? It sounds very interesting. But, OP, if you want AP credit do Bio.</p>
