Science Requirements

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>A lot of top science colleges require that you take 4 years of science in high school. However, I was wondering if they really mean 4 courses of science. For example, I took Physics as a freshman, Chemistry as a sophomore, and I am planning to take AP Physics C and AP Biology in junior year. Is it okay if don't take a science class as a senior?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Ideally you will take science all four years, it is because it means you will be well-rounded and should be taking your core subjects all the way through.</p>

<p>At my school the curriculum is physics-chemistry-biology. I would have pushed AP Physics C to senior year, but I was planning to use that for an SAT Subject test, so I need it earlier. Would you recommend taking AP Bio as a senior, even if it means I won’t be with a lot of my grade?</p>

<p>Yes, take AP Bio senior year, it means you will have science all four years and will also keep up the rigor on your transcript.</p>

<p>That sounds good. Thanks for your help.</p>
