I am really bored with science and don’t want to take a 3rd year. I wouldn’t take physics because the teacher at our school is lame, so would it matter if I took a Bio 3-4 as a third year instead of having just the two science classes? (Bio and Chem). How much of a difference will it make? I got lots of other stuff I cant ake instead, this is what my schedule for next year looks like, kinda. I am applying to all schools in california.
Calc AP BC
Journalism
Psychology AP
English AP
Gov/Econ AP
Leadership (sr pres)
Yearbook?
Bio 3-4?
Statistics?
<p>You're lucky you have a choice. In FL, (well, at my school/district at least,) you have to take physics as a graduation requirement. And the teacher is a pain!</p>
<p>I too am surprised that you are not required to do a year each of bio, chem and physics in order to graduate.
Make sure to check with your guidance counselor for graduation requirements.</p>
<p>I am 100% sure we do not need to. We need two years. Will I be looked down upon that much for not having another yr of science? or will it not make too much of a difference?</p>
<p>dude u wanna be careful.. competitve schools like berkeley.. stanford etc in cali want u too have 4 science courses unless u have a good explanation(school doesn't offer). its part of the minimum requirements normally along w/4 math, 4 english, 3 foreign language etc.</p>
<p>crap, i got 5 or 6 math, 4 eng, 3 FL, but only two science. ****.
Well, I am signed up for bio 3-4 next year, will they not count that as a science?</p>
<p>I am going to take Physics B AP next year (the one without calc), even though I am going into Calc BC next year, to make sure I am not over my head. Thanks for the input. Caltech required physics and chem, but not 4 years.</p>
