Senior year

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>These are the classes I want to take next year</p>

<p>0- ap chem
1- ap bio
2- English hnrs
3- spanish hnrs
4-pre calc hnrs
5- ap psych
6- theology
7- study hall</p>

<p>In college I want to major in chem or pre med. I want to apply to like duke and wake forest and numerous other. But does taking ap chem and bio seem like a good idea? I plan to stay on top of the course load that's why I'm taking the study hall. The reason why I want to take both is because I enjoy bio and chem. I took regular bio and hnrs chem and I found both pretty easy. I don't think it would be too hard because at my school the science books are college books already even if you are in a regular class. Plus they would not let us take ap sciences until senior year which sucks and that's why I want to take both. I would apreciate any advice anyone has at succeeding in these classes or if I should rethink my schedule. Thanks!!</p>

<p>Pre-med isn’t a major, it’s a track. Major in Chem. If you can handle a lot of memorizing and don’t procrastinate the sciences, you’re good to go as long as you enjoy those classes.</p>

<p>NO. </p>

<p>Do NOT do both AP Bio and AP Chem at the same time. Sure, AP Bio might be just memorization and therefore easy-- but therein lies your downfall. It /is/ all just memorization, but it’s a ****ton of it.</p>

<p>^Slightly false. The changes in AP Bio are taking place next year. More AP Chem-like, in that there will be more conceptualization than hardcore memorization.</p>

<p>I’m taking AP Bio and AP Chem but it’s not that hard
the only reason I regret doing it is because Bio is unbelievably boring and time consuming :/</p>

<p>I would lighten up on your schedule, you need to take it easy senior year</p>
