<p>I was reading another one of the posts on this site, and I am facing the same kind of problem. I am a high school junior who moved from Texas to Virginia the summer before freshman year. I had to take this course called earth science when I was a freshman and last year I took honors biology, thinking that this year, I would take Chemisty and AP biology, but I just decided to do Chemistry. So now I'm in chemistry and I have a 100, and for course selections I told my counselor I was going to take AP chem (because in VA you have to take the regular course before you can go into AP). My counselor said that some colleges don't even look at your application if you don't take physics. Is that true? And should I take it? My reasoning is that I'm taking an AP instead of a regular class, and my school just opened last year, so there's only one physics teacher, and my friends that take physics now say he's an awful. Also, I won't do anything with physics when I'm in college. </p>
