Should I double up on sciences?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi! My name's Emma :)</p>

<p>So, to start off, I'm going to be a visual arts major and would like to get into the dual degree program between brown and risd. That being said, I'm not going into a science field at all. However, would it up my chances of admission into these schools if I took more AP science classes?</p>

<p>Science is my worst subject, so I'm not focusing on those classes during high school. This is the layout for my honors/ap classes (total after four years)</p>

<p>science: 3 honors, 1 AP (physics, so it's more like math)
math: 1 honors, 2-3 AP (depending on if I take stats, which I won't if I take more science my senior year. I will have calc AB and BC already so I think I'll be set)
english: 3 honors, 1 AP (AP Lit, only english offered)
foreign language: 1 honor, 1 AP
social studies: 0 honors, 5 AP (human geo, us history, gov/pol, econ, psych)
art: 2 AP (history, studio)</p>

<p>I've basically taken all that is available in all subject areas EXCEPT for science (bio, chem, environ. sci are all offered as well) so I was wondering if I should take one more AP science my senior year, or if they really won't care if I'm well rounded in either all subjects or all minus 1. </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>You are not majoring in science, so I don’t think you’ll have to worry about it. Your schedule looks rigorous to me, with all those AP courses. If were unable to take as many AP courses at your school, I would suggest taking the sciences to make it more rigorous, but honestly, you are fine. Take AP Stats if you are interested in it. You shouldn’t risk your GPA on something you aren’t majoring in.</p>

<p>I really don’t think it matters- your past classes show you know how to handle your work (assuming you did well in all of your courses).</p>

<p>It depends, is your schedule going to be rigourous without taking the AP science. If it is then I wouldn’t worry about it. Also, if you’re taking an Honors science class and another AP class in a different subject then I don’t think adcoms would mind. Also are you willing to put in the time and effort to get a good grade in the class? If you will take enough AP’s without adding the science class then I doubt you need to take another AP science.</p>
