Which APs and classes to take?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hey everyone.
I have some options on which classes to take and wanted your opinions. I will be entering my junior year.</p>

<p>Current Sched:
-AP Bio
-AP Eng
-APUSH
-H Precalc
-H Spanish 4</p>

<p>I have one free period in which I can put the following: Latin I , Intro to Comp Sci, Music Technology, or perhaps "double up" in an area.</p>

<p>If I pursue this route, which AP science should I take in my senior year? The choices are:
APES, AP Physics (but there is no calc so you cannot take the AP exam), or AP Chem (but I just took H Chem so it would make sense for me to take this junior year)</p>

<p>Does it matter what electives I choose when applying or are they just extra? And how should I plan out my sciences (should it be AP Chem then AP Bio or AP Bio and doubling in something senior year w/ no science)?</p>

<p>What do YOU want to take?</p>

<p>I would take Humanities classes all day.
I guess what I’m really asking here is if colleges care if you don’t take a science for 4 years?</p>

<p>They like to see at least 3 credits of science. It also depends on what caliber of school you’re shooting for. For example, I got into UMich with 3 science credits, but I heavily loaded up on humanities. Most colleges would like to see a 4th year, but I also think that’s it’s more important to many for you to pursue your passions.</p>

<p>Take Latin if you’re interested in humanities. Then take either AP Physics or Chem your senior year (if you want a 4th year).</p>

<p>I am interested in pursuing politics and I.R. – hopefully Georgetown SFS.
Does this make any difference? I suppose I will take the Latin route.</p>
