Should I Change My Schedule?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Thanks for reading- I’m a junior this year and this is currently my schedule:
AP chem
AP bio
AP english
AP USH
AP Seminar (capstone)
H pre-calc

I thought taking bio and chem simultaneously would be no problem for me (i had a 99 in ap physics and ap compsci last year), but I know realize that the AP bio teacher is extremely weird and way too harsh on grading free responses, etc. I’m giving her a few weeks until I decide to leave, but my real question is if changing to AP Stats would hurt me college-wise. I’d rather take an AP class that I’m more sure that I could get an A in. Should I tough it out in AP bio or change? By the way, I’m not a science major, and by graduation I’ll have all three sciences on my transcript(Freshman H Biology). Thanks!!!

Yeah, I would switch. I don’t think it will hurt you college-wise especially since you’re not a science major, you’re trading it out for another AP class, and you have a hard schedule to begin with. Plus, I think it will look better to get an A. From my experience, the teacher makes or breaks a class. It sounds like this teacher is going to break it.

If it’s helpful to anyone- I did switch out of AP Bio, and I’m so glad that I did! AP Psych is the best! :slight_smile:

Note that unless you completed level 4 or Ap in a foreign language, you’d need one unit in a foreign language. Otherwise, you did well - AP bio and AP chem together = madness. :smiley:
