<p>I am really looking forward to applying Caletch, MIT, Stanford, Columbia....I'm definitely majoring in either ChemEng or Astrophysics. Right now Im planning to take AP Calc BC, AP, Spanish, AP English Lit, AP Physics C, AP Gov, and AP Stats next year, my senior year. Would taking AP Bio instead of Gov and Stats look better to math/science based schools, even though im not majoring in bio? Or would leaving my schedule as is look as though I did not take the most rigorous science courseload available? Or would taking Stats and Gov allow me to test out of those subjects and focus more on my major freshman and sophomre year?</p>
<p>if you plan to work hard senior year
you should take bio</p>
<p>thanks for the input. and i am planning to work VERY hard next year, in order to get ranked as the top 5 in my class-im currently ranked 19 out of 508. or, if 15 "accidents" happened to 15 specific people...</p>
<p>I'd take Stats and Bio, but thats me.</p>
<p>I would take those 2 also, but I don't have the schedule capacity for it. I already dropped my lunch period this year so I could take AP Chemistry (easiest class ever), and believe me, no lunch is a b****. So I only have two options.</p>
<p>assuming AP bio takes up 2 course slots and Gov and Stats only take one?</p>
<p>I'd take bio because it'd round out the sciences (I'm assuming you are taking AP Chem now) and it'd require less homework senior year and I'm sure you'll be incredibly busy doing college essays/scholarship essays while keeping up your other ECs and such (and even though it'd be less work, on your transcript it'd still count as two AP credits in class right? so even though you would be taking 1 less AP course, you are still taking just as many AP hours)</p>
<p>thanks kasey, and stats and gov are 1 period each, so either way it's 2 periods on my schedule, but I think Im gonna take Bio instead, because of the reasons you guys posted above. thanks a lot, guys.</p>
