<p>I picked my senior classes already, but the more I think about it, the more I am inclined to change it. I'll be taking AP Biology, AP English Literature, AP Calculus AB (BC isn't offered at my school), AP Psychology, Band, German 5 and Anatomy and Physiology. I can't decide if I want to switch out Anatomy for AP Physics 2 or AP Statistics. I'm currently in Physics, and I really enjoy it. It comes naturally to me. I've never been very good with statistics, so I feel like AP Stats would give me some more experience that I really need. I'm interested in the health field or engineering. </p>
<p>AP Physics 2 Pros
-would prepare me more for college physics
-I enjoy physics
-taught by science department head (I like the teacher)</p>
<p>AP Physics 2 Cons
-a lot more work to do
-I've heard AP Physics is very challenging</p>
<p>AP Statistics Pros
-gives me exposure to stats
-taught by math department head</p>
<p>AP Statistics Cons
-I'm not a big fan of statistics (I enjoy math in general, though)
-will probably be in a class with a lot of juniors</p>
<p>Anatomy Pros
-less stress than a fifth AP class
-taught by another teacher I like
-would prepare me for going into health field (PT or Physician Assistant, for example)</p>
<p>Anatomy Cons
-considered an easy class at my school
-lots of juniors take it
-colleges may see that I could have taken another AP class and didn't </p>
<p>I would recommend AP Physics 2. </p>
<p>Depending on your school, AP Bio and AP Lit could be pretty demanding. You will also be devoting a lot of time to college apps and essays.</p>
<p>Based on your career objectives, AP Physics would be worthwhile, but then so is A&P. You could take AP Physics and swap AP Lit for Honors English.</p>
<p>It’s not a game that whoever has the most AP’s wins. 4 is plenty. It’s up to you to figure out the best combo. Oh, and AP Stats is a waste of a class period IMHO; don’t put that in the mix</p>
<p>AP Bio is pretty hefty at my school, but AP Lit could be very light or very time consuming depending on the teacher. We unfortunately do not have Honors English 12 at my school, and if you take AP Lang as a junior, you have to take AP Lit as a senior.</p>
<p>I’m attending an engineering camp this summer. Should I just wait and decide to change until after the program? It’s mainly to help me decide if I want to go into engineering or health sciences.</p>
<p>How many sections of AP Lit does your school have??</p>
<p>I don’t think that summer camp will make a difference. Many students change their major several times while in college. Personally, I don’t think you can go wrong with AP Physics or A&P. However, you should ask your GC if it will make a difference on how s/he rates your schedule on the GC rec.</p>
<p>There are normally three classes of AP Lit with 20-30 students each (this is out of a class of ~340). </p>
<p>I think I might try to talk to the AP Physics teacher before I change anything since I’ve had issues with overworking myself in the past.</p>
<p>Wow, I don’t think we have any subject that has more than one section other than APUSH.</p>
<p>You know yourself best. Good luck.</p>
<p>Hmm… I think the only classes we have one section for are AP Spanish and AP Physics. Thank you so much for your help!</p>
<p>You will regret taking a hard schedule like that.</p>
<p>@teenbodybuilder I’ll regret taking the 4 AP classes I plan on taking now, or I would regret adding another one?</p>
<p>4 APs is a lot for senior year imo; lit, bio, and calc are all challenging. I wouldn’t take 5. Is there an honors level physics class?</p>
<p>teenbodybuilder is aware of senioritis. AP Bio and AP Calc will be pretty rough, you do not want to stack AP Physics on top of that</p>
<p>Out of these three options, I would firstly recommend either of the two AP classes: Physics or Stats. The reason for this is that it’s always smarter to take a more challenging class, and it’s especially critical in your senior year to have the most challenging curriculum possible. You can always take a summer course if you feel the workload might be too stressful.</p>
<p>Second, I heard from my Physics professor firsthand a few days ago that if you’re looking to go into engineering, and you’re a female, it’s a very good field (I’m guessing, from your user, that you are. If not, please correct me). Apparently some engineering schools are looking for more female entrepreneurs because fewer women are entering the field, so naturally you have a greater chance of succeeding against a smaller group of competitors. Just thoughts.</p>
<p>My school only offers regular physics (what I’m taking now) and AP Physics. 
As for summer classes, my school only offers remedial classes or electives (like cooking or art, which I’m not interested in). Baton twirling and marching band pick up in the summer, too, so doing a summer class on top of summer work, practices and hopefully a job would be too much.
Thanks for the opinions!</p>
