Should I take geology or Economics or AP biology senior year?

Applying to College

<p>I am sick of working hard, quite honestly! My schedule next year (senior year) is:</p>

<p>AP Calculus BC
French V Honors (AP Equivalent)
Physics Accelerated
English </p>

<hr>

<p>I need one more class. The classes I am thinking about are: </p>

<p>AP Biology
Geology (no honors offered)
Honors Economics (AP Equivalent)
Architecture</p>

<p>I want to study economics/finance, french, and probably some kind of physical science such as geophysics, etc. I have ENTERTAINED the possibility of the medical track but not that seriously. I have also entertained the architecture track but not that seriously. I am leaning more towards geophysics than medicine, plus I really don't want to bust my ass all year in AP bio (not that I'm lazy, but I worked REALLY hard this year), so I'm thinking I shouldn't take that class. Everybody seems to say "you always take economics, so don't waste your timeon it in HS". </p>

<p>The geology teacher at my school is supposed to be really good and I think I would like it, but I have been thinking that it comes off as an easy class that you take if you don't want to do much work, and colleges want to see a harder class. However I don't know if with my other honors courses, and an interest in the subject, this would be acceptable. What are your thoughts?</p>

<p>By the way, I have been trying to find some kind of summer pursuit that would convey my interest in geology/geophysics, but I am having trouble. Any advice on a research project that I could do, etc. I have tried to line up a job doing geosurveys and I am on a "waiting list" and I will get it if someone drops out, which is possible but not necessarily likely. But chances are that I won't get this job and so I may be left with nothing to do... so any ideas would be really valued.</p>

<p>Well, since you say you are interested in taking economics, French, and geophysics in college, I would say the economics, French and geology classes would be more useful than the biology class. You already know you like French; the others might be more useful in helping you decide what you want to study. If you are serious about the French, though, I would not recommend taking a year off of French for senior year.</p>

<p>yeah sorry, I don’t think I really made it very clear, but the classes that I am definitely taking are: </p>

<p>AP Calculus BC
French V Honors (AP Equivalent)
Physics Accelerated
English </p>

<p>and then there is ONE slot left, and I have to choose one of: geology, economics, architecture, or AP bio for that one last slot, so I’m seeking advice as to which I should choose to do. Thanks!</p>
