Senior Year: AP Chemistry or AP Physics C?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm going to be a pre-pharmacy major, so I have a feeling I would need chemistry more than physics.</p>

<p>I'm taking AP Physics B this year, had a wonderful teacher who actually knows what he's talking about. He could easily be one of the most knowledgeable teacher I've ever come across. Physics C will be taught by the same teacher.</p>

<p>Chemistry, on the other hand, is a different matter altogether. When I took Honors Chemistry last year, the teacher (who is going to teach AP Chemistry) had a monotonous voice and basically just reads from the powerpoint slides. If I take AP Chemistry, I am confident that I could still pass the AP exam through self-study.</p>

<p>Next year I'm only going to have room for either AP Chemistry or AP Physics C. Which one though?</p>

<p>Perhaps you could take AP Physics C and then Chemistry at a community college.</p>

<p>Definitely Physics C if you want to go to pharmacy school. If you get a high enough score on the AP exam for credit, you can place out of college physics and never have to deal with physics again (PCAT has no physics). AP chem is a different story. You will have to take chem in college and pharmacy school.</p>
