Science Needed All Four Years?

Applying to College
1

I’m a junior/rising senior, planning to go into the business field (particularly marking and int’l business).

Does it look bad to selective colleges (UPenn, Harvard, Cornell) if I don’t have a science class next year?

I already took biology, chemistry, and a genetics elective. Right now, I am taking physics and AP Bio. So by the end of the year, I would have finished three years of science and one AP. I can take science electives/APs next year, and so far, I am enrolled in four APs for the upcoming fall.

Are there any colleges that REQUIRE four years of science, or any colleges that will look down upon not taking a science senior year? If this is you, would you take a science class senior year?

Are some of your courses only semester-long?

If they are year-long, then biology, chemistry, physics, genetics, and AP biology looks like 5 year-long science courses, including the expected three (biology, chemistry, physics).

If these classes were year long, you’ve met the requirements. Please detail.

Note that you should still have 4 more core classes (English, history/social science, foreign language, science, math.)
