Pre-Med & Medical School High School Student Topics

Hello Everyone! It’s that time of year where I have to start choosing those classes for next year agin. Anyways, I am going to be a Junior next year and I’m quite excited on some courses I’ll be taking and I’m lost and disappointed on others. This year I have taken:

AP Bio
AP World
Integrated Math III
Chinese 7/8
English Accelerated
P.E.
Academic League

(My school district does not allow Freshmen to take AP Classes and my district also does not offer Honors classes for Freshmen or sophomores unless you’re a year ahead in Math.)

To stay on track, I know that majors play a big role in what classes you plan on taking, me personally I want to major in international relations, poli science or pre law not necessarily sure yet. So these are the classes that I know I’ll be taking Junior year for sure. (Btw I personally love the rigorous challenge is AP Courses and I don’t mind staying up late getting homework, I love reading and learning new things and I love challenges more than doing something easy however I HATE MATH it’s never been my speciality and I’ve honestly hate it since I was in second grade and I never have seems to change.)

AP Art History (Art Credit)
AP U.S. History
A.P. English Lang.
Honors Chemistry
A.S.B.
Academic League and Academic Decathlon ( 1st and 2nd Semester)
AP Physiology

So my problem here is math…I don’t know what classes I should take. I did this huge mistake and I took intergraded math 3 (cuz my mom said I shouldn’t take it if I find math hard) instead of compacted math 3 which is basically (pre calculus). I was planning on taking Math Analysis Honors but that course is no longer available and Pre Calculus Honors is but isn’t that a sophmore thing??? I feel so ashamed and dumb personally cuz I feel Ike I just slowed myself a year behind in math now and it’s embarrassing because there’s some upcoming sophomores in my school taking AP Calc. They also offer AP Stats but I’m probably not going to take that because the teacher teaching it is my current math teacher and he is absolutely horrible a and lazy. What would college admissions think?Also I have had A’s in all my other classes from middle school now except for math which I ALWAYS end up getting an A- and then finals bring it down to a B+. The classes offered for me are either Pre Calculus Honors, AP Calculus and AP Stats what should I do?? Also if there is any tip on other classes I should take PLEASE let me know!! :slight_smile:

Thank you and sorry for this very long essay lol :slight_smile:
I feel like this math thing is going to kill al my chances into getting into college I am VERY scared

Do you mean AP Psychology? There is no such thing as AP Physiology.
Also what is A.S.B?

I am also an upcoming junior, and I am taking AP Calc AB, even though math is not my strong suit. I suggest dropping AP Art History and taking Ceramics, Drawing, or an easier art class. That way, you can have more time to perfect your math skills instead of writing papers on artists and art types (yuck lol).

Yes I meant AP Psychology :slight_smile: (sorry if you cant tell I was typing that at 2:24 a.m. lol) unfortunately our school does not offer Ceramics and A.S.B. is Assistant Student Body which is leadership type class. I actually ended up signing up for Pre Calc Honors so well see how this goes and thank you for reading my long annoying passage! :slight_smile: I actually stopped taking a foreign language and I am taking
