Which AP?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm currently a junior and am trying to decide on my senior schedule. I have a biomedical internship that prohibits me from taking more than 5 periods of classes, thus limiting my options.</p>

<p>Currently, I have already taken the following APs:</p>

<p>1) US Government and Politics
2) World History
3) Psychology
4) English Language
5) Chemistry</p>

<p>Next year, I'm definitely taking:</p>

<p>1) Calc BC
2) English Language
3) Physics C</p>

<p>However, I cannot decide if I should take AP Comparative Government or AP Micro/Macro Economics. Which one is more impressive to colleges?</p>

<p>Additionally, I am torn between AP Biology and Anatomy and Physiology. AP Biology is a double period class and has a reputation of being extremely work-intensive. With my internship lasting until 5:00 pm each night, I am unsure if I will have the time to commit to this course. However, since it is a biomedical internship, would it look bad if I do not take AP Biology? Taking AP Biology would show that I'm passionate about the subject. On the other hand, I think I would really enjoy Anatomy and Physiology. Even though it is not an AP class, it is considered an advanced level class and would be labeled as such on my transcript, same as an AP class.</p>

<p>I don't want to be overwhelmed senior year since it's my last year and all, but I'm willing to take a rigorous course load. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Bio major?</p>

<p>It's not very likely. I don't enjoy biology as much as physics and chemistry which is why I've avoided taking the class. Straight memorization has never appealed to me. </p>

<p>I'm debating between some type of engineering and business - yes they're totally different majors. However, to apply to the top engineering programs, would it hurt me that I never took AP Biology?</p>

<p>anatomy and physiology is fine</p>

<p>you could take regular Gov or Econ and then take AP Bio, because that would be way more beneficial to your future.</p>

<p>Well, I'm not so worried about the work load of AP Comparative Government or AP Economics. I've heard that they're both relatively easy classes. I just don't know what course I should actually take as there is no room in my schedule for both of them.</p>
