Should I take earth science?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi thank you in advance for helping me. So I'm heading into senior year and I've already taken Bio, Chemistry, and Physics (all regular level because my school doesn't offer honors). My plan was for me to take AP Bio senior year, but I can't because my school can't afford it. I want to know how bad it looks if I don't take a science senior year. I'm really worried because i'm planning on majoring in computer science in college.
My only options are:
Take Earth Science: Which is actually a sophomore class that I skipped so I would be able to take AP Bio, it's also considered a "lesser science" and kind of a joke class in my school. Also I really don't want to take it because it really is a waste of time and unnecessary stress because I will have to worry about taking the regents for it too (I live in NY)</p>

<p>Take College Now Bio: Which I'm worried about because it will most likely be 5 hours of my life on Saturdays which I'm not sure I'll have time for since I will also be applying to colleges and everything</p>

<p>No Science: Worried that it will look bad to colleges
Please Help!</p>

<p>I don’t think you’d be penalized for not taking something if your school doesn’t offer the sequence, and you’ve fulfilled the requirement for 3 years of lab science. </p>

<p>Is there another non-science AP or other challenging course you could take in place of a science?</p>

<p>I’m going to be taking AP Calc next year, does that count? My school only offers 4 APs (AP calc which i plan to take, APUSH which i took this year, AP Global which was added after I took Global, and AP Lit which I don’t qualify for)</p>

<p>CAn you arrange a schedule where you get out early from school and take an intro Bio course at a community college? It would take you to make a bold request of your administration. But I think this would be better than taking a fluff science course. </p>

<p>Many students’ needs can’t be met within the walls of their HS. Perhaps this describes you. If so, spk w/your counselor/principal and get them on your side.</p>

<p>Be adventurous! Good luck to you</p>
