<p>Hello,
I am a currently a junior who is having some senior scheduling issues...I am sort of considering a field in medicine and so hope to major in either biology or neuroscience, but I am uncertain as to the most preferable courses I should take as a senior. I have scheduled so far:
-Hons. English 12
-AP Calculus
-Hons. Chemistry 2
-Hons. Biology 2
-AP Government
-AP Economics Macro/Micro
-?? (Spanish 4/Physics/Political Science)
As you can see, I have only 1 opening for 3 choices.. sticky predicament. I had initially planned to take Spanish 4, but am now debating on whether or not to switch to Physics. I understand that physics would be helpful in my intended major, but the only physics course offered at my high school is not exactly rigorous; mostly busy work. My history teacher is also starting a new political science class which is especially interesting to me, and though it will be thought provoking and challenging, (plus I would like this teacher to write me a recommendation), it is not honors or weighted. I am terribly lost and confused and probably blowing this out of proportion, but some advice would be helpful.
Thanks!</p>
<p>Just follow your interests.</p>
<p>Senior year GPA isn't really an admissions factor and is just used to check to see if you are maintaining at least a gpa of around 3.0 unweighted and if you are PASSing them.</p>
<p>You can take physics in college. There are usually special physics classes for bio majors that are not as advanced as the ones intended for engineers/scientists.</p>
<p>To be honest, your schedule seems already very rigorous, though I did think it was a bit late to start taking bio and chem during your senior year.</p>
<p>yeah, I think my school science system is a little weird compared to other school's science systems. Well, I already took the basic Chem 1 this year and Bio 1 my sophomore year. Chem 2 and Bio 2 are optional, but I'm taking them senior year anyways. But I think I will follow what will make me happiest which is probably the political science class.. thanks for your input!</p>
