Should I take Physics Honors AND AP Bio?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hey everyone. I'm currently a junior in high school. I'm interested in the pre-med programs at schools like Notre Dame and IUPUI. I took biology honors freshman year, chemistry honors sophmore year, and I'm currently taking AP Chemistry and Anatomy and Physiology. I am debating whether to take physics honors AND AP bio or physics honors AND AP environmental science. I really don't want to take AP Bio because I feel like it would ruin my cumulative GPA (which is currently a 4.0 weighted). I will take it if it is truly the better choice. I just don't want to overwork myself.</p>

<p>This is my senior year schedule (I have not signed up for anything, this is just me planning everything out before talking to my counselor): </p>

<p>English Lit (1 semester): Milton-Modern - I am not taking AP English so I will have more time for science. My sister (who was a molecular biology major) also told me English classes are fun in college, so it would be a breath of fresh air amongst all the science.
Novels (1 semester)
Vocations (1 semester)
Apologetics (1 semester)
I go to a Catholic high school, so I am required to take 2 theology classes per year
AP Gov (1 semester)
AP Macro (1 semester)
Study Hall (1 semester): this is for soccer season, which is in the fall
Advanced Health (1 semester)
Physics Honors (2 semesters)
AP Calc BC (2 semesters)
AP Bio OR AP Environmental (2 semesters) </p>

<p>Also: I don't know if 5 AP courses in my high school career is enough for said colleges.
Thank you for reading. Any advice would be great!</p>

<p>I don’t have any experience with physics, but I’m taking AP Bio currently and it is an extremely interesting class for me. I also think it would benefit you, because of your intended major. It is a good amount of work though so if you truly don’t want to take it then don’t </p>

<p>I’m a junior taking ap bio and honors physics right now and it’s totally manageable. However I have heard that ap environmental science is easier. Since you’re interested in pre-med, I would suggest taking ap bio. </p>

<p>If you’re serious about premed, I think you should take AP bio. </p>

<p>Thank you everyone! I have decided to take

  1. Study Hall and Advanced Health
  2. AP Bio
  3. Physics H</p>

<p>Wish me luck!</p>
