Hi!
I’m picking out my Junior Year classes, and can’t decide on which classes to take, can you help me decide what’s best for a future pre-med / biology major student. I love science and I can tolerate math, so I want to focus on those.

Freshman Year
PreAP E1
PreAP Biology
AP Psychology
AP Human Geography
Spanish 1
Creative Writing
Pathway Class
PreAP Geometry

Sophomore Year
PreAP E2
PreAP Chemistry
AP Biology
AP World History (which i HATE rN)
AP Computer Science A
PreAP Precalculus (DC)
Spanish 2 (i LOVE)
Pathway Class
I’m also self studying Calculus AB, and testing out of it, and maybe Calculus BC, so I can take AP Stats next year (hopefully, rn, it’ll just say Calculus BC)

Junior Year Options
option 1:
AP Calc BC
AP Physics 1

AP Seminar

ENGL 1301 & 1302 English Composition (DC)
U.S. History (DC)

i’m also planning to self study for the AP macro and micro econ test, and take govt over junior year summer.
option 2 (no math):
AP Chemistry
AP Physics 1

AP Seminar

ENGL 1301 & 1302 English Composition (DC)
U.S. History (DC)

Beginning Spanish I & II (DC)

option 3:

I really like Chemistry right now, and AP Biology has been an easy A for me. I can’t decide on what to do however. So help please?

DO NOT self study calculus to skip classes: colleges don’t like it.
Especially not if you skip calculus… to take AP Stats, a class for students who can’t/won’t take calculus.
TAKE CALCULUS AB OR BC IN SCHOOL.

Since you’ve taken Spanish 1+2 in HS, you should enroll in DC Beginning Spanish 2 then Intermediate Spanish 3, not DC 1&2 (it’ll look bad since you’ll be repeating a class by taking DC Spanish 1).

With these tweaks, option 1 is the best.
