Senior Schedule: Micro vs. US Gov?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I've asked a similar question before here, but this one is more specific to social studies classes. This is my senior schedule so far:</p>

<p>Core classes:
AP English 12 Literature and Composition (year long)
AP Calculus AB (year long)
AP Spanish Language (year long)
Physics Honors (year long)
AP Macroeconomics AND <a href="two%20semester%20long%20courses">Blank</a></p>

<p>Electives:
AP Computer Science (year long)
Teaching assistant (semester long)
Humanities (required semester long course)</p>

<p>In the [Blank], I'm debating on taking either AP Microeconomics or AP US Government and Politics. At our school, AP Micro is harder than AP Gov, but when I take it, AP Micro will be in its second year ever being taught at our school. AP Gov is a joke, but I'm more interested in AP Micro. However, I hear that colleges expect some sort of government class on your transcript before you graduate. For some background, I'm interested in pursuing some sort of STEM major in college.</p>

<p>Help me resolve this conflict of interest? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I have never heard that colleges expect you to take a government class in high school. I certainly didn’t and I still go to a pretty decent school, double majoring in Bio and English. I’d take whichever you prefer, unless you want to boost your GPA, in which case, take the easier class.</p>
