Should I take AP/ Physics or take AP Bio in junior year? Prerequisites for Pharmacy?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So right now im in my soph yr taking normal chem (my school doesnt give honors chemisty or any science like that, just normal science and AP science) and im planning to become a Pharmacist after going to a UC school. This might sound really early to ask this since im not choosing next year's classes yet but im really curious on what i should pick that would benefit me later. I've already taken Bio (A grade) and Chem so far is an A also. Honestly, I actually do like science and I plan to take harder classes. Do universities look if you took physics or not? Do i have to take it? If i had to take AP physics then i would then take AP bio... At my school, its required to take 2 yrs of lab science (life sci: bio & physical sci: chem, physical sci-earth, physics) and 3 is recommended in order to get to a UC. My aim for is either UCI, CSULB, UCLA, or USC. Do you have to take physics in order to go for such a major? if not, i would go for AP Bio junior yr then AP Chem in senior year... but im still not sure... So should i take AP Physics B nxt yr or take AP Bio? sry if i've been throwing out a lot of thoughts so yeah... im pretty unsure...</p>

<p>also during the summer before junior year, my mom (a nurse) is taking me to the hospital to help out by being a voluntary (later, part-time paid) research assisant for some time. idk if that helps but yea...</p>

<p>What should i do?</p>

<p>Well i read that most colleges would prefer that you took courses in bio, chem, AND physics so you can be well-rounded in the field of science which can help later on. But i actually took normal chem too soph year as well but i recommend that you take AP bio then AP Physics because AP bio does require some knowledge of chem so if you take it next year, the info wont seem so foreign when you learn it. While AP physics seems to be based more on math in comparison to bio or chem. Plus, if you do take physics, i recommend taking AP stat next year if you can cuz one of my friends said that some things she learned in stat helped her in physics.</p>

<p>Errr well the thingnis that I can’t take AP bio during junior year…</p>

<p>Ohh ok well if you can take AP chem earlier then do that but if not then just take AP Physics B then.</p>
