<p>For my 3 years I've taken rigorous science courses (the most difficult my school offers)
Biology
Chemistry
Physics </p>
<p>However, I have no interest in going into any field of science. </p>
<p>I want to know if I should drop my science for next year (Human Anatomy and Physiology) because I will still be taking other rigorous courses: AP World History; AP Language; Pre-Cal/Cal; and French I (I've already taken Spanish for 3 years); (and maybe psychology) </p>
<p>I was wondering if dropping a fourth year of science would negatively impact how colleges consider my application, even in light of the other classes I plan to take.</p>
<p>You said you’ve taken the most rigorous science classes in your school; did you take AP in all those levels without a prerequisite?<br>
If so, I still wouldn’t advise it. Selective colleges like to see that you’ve maintained your core classes throughout.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t offer AP science courses. As I’ve said, so far I have taken the most rigorous science courses my school offers.</p>
<p>Yes, drop it. There is no need for another science class (AP or not), if you don’t plan to study science or are not interested in science. Your senior year curriculum should be a little bit geared to what you will do after graduation. </p>
<p>Aside from the science, however, you might want to make it a little more rigorous by upping the math level (if you can) or taking another AP. Don’t go soft. This is your senior year, your last year to go all out!</p>
<p>I didn’t take science in my senior year, and I got into all of the schools I wanted to get into (NYU, Oberlin, Brandeis, others). So if I were you, I’d be more worried about the fact that you’re switching languages in your senior year.</p>
<p>^^
I second the concern raised by paperbackhead regarding switching foreign languages. Some colleges (typically the most selective) recommend that you have the equivalent of four years of the same foreign languages when you graduate. So if you placed into year 2 or higher of Spanish when you entered high school, you’ve met the recommendation. If however you will graduate at the Spanish 3 level, that may hurt your application.</p>
