<p>I'm going to be a senior next year. For reasons not worth making you read about, I was unable to take science this year; I've taken Bio and Chem so far. Given that I have absolutely no interest in science and don't plan to do anything with it in the future, would a college rather see physics or AP Environmental? I know colleges usually want to see physics, but I also don't have many APs (US History this year, French and possibly English next year). I imagine I'd like either class slightly better than the other science classes I've taken, because I like math and I'm somewhat interested in the environment. I'm looking into in a wide variety of colleges, so it's hard to look specifically at what they want.
Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>Because it’s a core science (and the science highest in purity), physics would be my personal choice. AP exams themselves aren’t especially important - it’s the knowledge, presumably one at a college level, that makes them seem ideal. However, physics is a very fundamental area of science, and I believe that that makes it more important than Environmental.</p>
<p>To colleges, the AP class looks better.</p>
<p>In reality, the physics is more essential.</p>
<p>Do physics because if you want to apply to a top college, even if you aren’t majoring in anything scientific they still want you to take the three fundamental sciences in high school. Who knows, maybe you’ll fall in love with physics!</p>
<p>Hahahahaha. Falling in love with physics.</p>
<p>If you’re like me, you’ll grow to have an absolutely HATRED of physics.</p>
<p>I’d take AP Enviro. It’s more interesting. :]</p>
