My school offers AP Chemistry as a class, but I don’t necessarily want to take it because I have heard some terrible things about the teacher who teaches it. I’m considering taking chemistry at a local college or maybe online, and I was wondering how this would look to colleges considering that my school does offer AP Chemistry.
Should I take AP Chemistry at a local college or online? Or should I just take it at school?
Colleges won’t care that you took Chemistry 1 at the local community college. They won’t make a difference - the course will likely be less in-depth but will be much, much faster paced, will require a lot of autonomy, will rely on fewer grades. Si, it’s your choice.
If you take the course at a college, you will get to see how a college course is run in contrast to how a high school course is run, even though the material may be similar.
