<p>If you don't feel up to AP Physics, then IMO take nonAP Physics. IMO the important thing is to enhance your education. Physics is important. JMO, but if the choice is AP Econ vs. nonAP Physics, from the perspective of getting an education I would favor nonAP Physics. You'll have the opportunity to study economics, with professional economists, in college. </p>
<p>If it were me, though, I'd first try for a lower-level physics class at my school, rather than go to community college. I would try to avoid disrupting my schedule simply to take a class that I could just as well, or almost just as well, take in school (if possible).</p>
<p>What's your prospective major and what do you hope to do with it?
Ultimately, that should be what matters most. Your schedule is academically fine either way. It appears you've already met the 3-yr requirement, albeit with two yrs of bio.</p>
<p>I'm planning on dual majoring in English and Linguistic Anthropology/social anthropology. So...yeah...I think for the most part, physics won't offer me much with regard to those. I'm going to contact the college counselors, but does anybody know the preference of UCB or Stanford?</p>
<p>Our kids were advised to take the most rigorous courseload & get the highest grades & class rank + ECs to have a chance at either UCB or Stanford. Contacting the admissions office at both schools if you want info. Good luck!</p>
