So Many Choices! Senior Year Classes

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm certainly having a difficult time pressing the submit button for classes senior year.
My plan for college is to major in Information Technology/ IT Project Management.</p>

<p>Here's the low down:</p>

<p>For sure:
AP Lit
AP Spanish</p>

<p>What to take?:
AP Calc AB
AP Calc BC
AP Physics C (e&m + mechanics)
AP Econ
AP Stat
AP Comp Sci</p>

<p>Right now I'm planning on taking: Lit + Spanish + AB + Econ + Comp Sci.</p>

<p>However, with IT, programming isn't something that is going to be required unless it's just an intro course. </p>

<p>Question:
So I think my question among all this is: Will not taking a 4th year science be too much of a concern? I am thinking between Econ as a social science and CS as exactly what it is, this should not really be a problem.</p>

<p>Also, if you would pick Stat over Comp Sci, then would that make my lack of a 4th year science more blatant?</p>

<p>Thanks for your time.</p>

<p>I think you should take Calc BC. You seem to like math since you were considering on doubling up. BC covers all the AB topics, just a bit faster and in greater depth. You may want to take AP Physics over Econ, but if you prefer Econ a lot, take it. If you have taken a science every other year, and you want to major in IT, computer science is a good “science” for your senior year.</p>

<p>Take a science; generally, you’d want 4 years of science before you graduate. Also, I agree with the take BC suggestion because the AP exam is easier and may get you out of Calculus depending on where you go, plus, it looks a fair bit better.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies. For sciences I have taken Bio (H), Chemistry and AP Physics B. I really do like Physics (my teacher is arguably the best in the world :slight_smile: but it is probably not as pertinent to my major as Comp Sci. Holistically, I have taken Windows Server R2, Windows Security, Configuring Windows 7, and Windows Active Directory at my school (we are very lucky to have these I realize!) so I think that makes Comp Sci not as big a priority as a solid 4th year science. So perhaps: Lit + Spanish + Calc BC + Physics C.<br>
That’s 4 APs, so with my required religion course and two more MSFT windows courses (religion and MSFT meet every other day) I’m looking at a pretty good alternative.</p>
