<p>I just got my course selection sheet recently for next year. I'm currently a junior and want to get into an ivy league college, and I want to major in two areas: business and law. I have taken Chemistry and Biology and am going to take AP Bio next year. Do you think I need to take another science course or should I take a course that's related to what I'll major in? </p>
<p>Can you take both Physics and Business Law? That would be ideal… Physics is part of a standard high school course sequence, but you can sacrifice it for something more relevant to your interests, especially if you’ll be in AP science anyway.</p>
<p>If you have 3 years of a lab science, then I would go ahead and take Business Law. I don’t see why you “need” to take physics. Your colleges just want to make sure you’ve challenged yourself.</p>
<p>Well since you can’t take both, business law definitely seems like the better choice. By the way, you get a course selection sheet? Lucky! It is SO much more confusing at my school. :(</p>
<p>My concerns me is that many high school graduates have taken physics during their high school year. It makes me feel a bit weird and insecure if I leave high school without taking physics.</p>
<p>you want to major in business and law (neither of which deal with science) and you ask us whether to take two science classes or a class called “Business Law”</p>
<p>Basing this of general content (could vary based on the teacher)</p>
<p>Don’t take anatomy. Useless course, mostly centered around memorization. Only good for potential doctors, who will eventually need to memorize this stuff. Clearly, you will not. Not really difficult, and teaches you how to memorize.</p>
<p>I have no idea what Business Law, actually entails but sounds like it could be an interesting class. Although based on some of the Business classes, taught here, they appear to be a joke. But it is very relevant to your major.</p>
<p>Physics. Yes, take this. Even though, it is by no means the most interesting course imo, it teaches you how to think creatively. Apply concepts and unify them, to solve a problem. This will useful in many respects, and one of the reasons it is considered a core science.</p>
<p>So essentially, my personal recommendation would be to take Physics, although Business Law is a viable option as well, provided it isn’t a complete joke.</p>
<p>the person above me probably had a terrible instructor.
After taking 2 quarters of physics for engineer majors at a local community college for the first time, I have fell in love with it. I now seriously consider physics as my major lol
if you value understanding and applying concepts over memorizing, physics is the class for you.</p>
<p>No, I just don’t care. My AP Physics teacher I had for Chemistry and Organic Chemistry in high school as well. He was actually my favorite high school teacher. Physics just isn’t my thing. I’m not being cultured or understanding people better by it. That’s all I want to do with learning.</p>
<p>I also hate math, so it’s not surprising that I hate physics, as well.</p>
<p>^ Maths and physics are my favourite subjects, even though I might not like the way my teachers teach. </p>
<p>Anyway, OP, you should check if the Business Law class is a serious class or not. Is it stupidly easy to get an A? Do people actually learn anything? If it’s a waste of time, taking physics could make you look better (and would probably be more rewarding).</p>
