Ok so I thought I had decided my senior year classes, but now that we’ve gotten our schedules for the year, my classes aren’t working out/fitting. The biggest problem is that I was planning to take AP Calc BC and AP Gov. I want to go into international relations, so the gov class is important to me. Also, I know that AP Calc BC looks good for colleges, so I would want to take that as well. However, since they are both at the same period, I can’t take both, and they each only have one class so I can’t get into another class. I’m not sure what to do now. If I dropped down to AP Calc AB (I took honors calc last year) then my classes would fit, but I don’t know if I should do that. Another option could be taking AP Stats, but I know colleges don’t weight it as much as Calc. As far as I know, my school doesn’t offer online AP courses, and I can’t pay for one on my own. I’m going to ask my guidance counselor if there would be a way to get an online course, so I could take AP Gov online, but there most likely won’t be. The only other option (besides dropping a class) would be to maybe take a similar class at my local community college. It’d be very difficult to manage a calc class there, but there are some government classes. However, that would leave me with just one AP class. (AP Calc BC). I am taking all the most advanced classes in my subjects, except science, but I already took AP Lang and AP Lit (so I am taking Advanced American Lit), and my language doesn’t have an AP test, so I am taking Advanced Portuguese. Both advanced classes are weighted by my school the same as AP classes. What should I do? Drop down to AP Calc AB? AP Stats? Take a gov class at my CC? Please respond ASAP
well since you’re not doing an engineering major or anything science related, I believe stats would be fine in this instance. Also take AP GOV.
Colleges (outside of elite engineering schools ) don’t differentiate between calc ab and calc bc for admission purpose. Since calc ab fits, problem solved
