senior course selection..urgent help needed

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hello, I need help with my senior course selection.</p>

<p>This year, I took AP Physics C: Mech. I was originally planning to take E&M next year, but not enough people signed up ( 2 to be exact ). So they had to cancel the class. Therefore, I chose AP Chem as my 2nd choice. That's all well and good, until today. My counselor just told me that they canceled the AP chem class ( I guess because the teacher is incompetent but they didn't want to look for a new one ).</p>

<p>Now, I have two choices: AP Bio and AP Computer Science. I'm really not into Biology ( I didn't like it when I took Honors Bio freshman year), but I'd like to keep the strength of my schedule intact. I really would love to learn programming, especially when I plan to major in Applied Computational Math, but I'm worried that AP Comp Sci would look like a weaker substitute when it comes to college admissions.</p>

<p>Any suggestions? I have to make a decision as soon as possible, tomorrow will be nice.</p>

<p>Moral of the story: Catholic schools suck.</p>

<p>Take AP CS. If it really is a major concern, you can probably have your counselor explain the situation. But substituting a class which you’re not interested in with a class that you are interested in and is going to be useful to you because it looks slightly stronger is silly. Especially when they’re both AP classes.</p>

<p>AP comp sci</p>

<p>take the class that you ACTUALLy want to take, plus their both ap</p>

<p>Will the colleges look down on the fact that I only took 3 years of lab science when I have AP Bio as a class that I could’ve taken?</p>

<p>^Depends on the type of college, but why would they look down on you for taking three years as the minimum? </p>

<p>Just take classes that you’re interested in.</p>

<p>So long as you’ve taken at least a high school level Chemistry and Biology class, no.</p>
