<p>okay soo my precal teacher just told me today to only take 2 ap classes..not three.
shes like dont do an ap math and an ap science in the year. (im going to be a senior).
whats your take on it?
i want to major in something in the humanities--i also like foreign policy, international relations</p>
<p>which ap should i take? the ap science or the ap math?
i will take ap english lit</p>
<p>also this year i took 3 aps (history, english lang, physics b)</p>
<p>let me rephrase: instead of more important…what would look better when applying to an ivy league institution if my major is history/along those lines?</p>
<p>Eh, you don’t have listen to your precalc teacher. Take as many APs as you think you’re capable of doing, without sacrificing your grades and ability to learn.</p>
<p>I’d go with calc.</p>
<p>Take a look at the Ivies you are planning to apply to and a) see which if any SAT subject tests they require (AP can be a good prep for these tests) and b) look at which if any AP’s they give credit or placement for.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the Ivies and other top schools like to see that you have taken the most difficult courses offered at your high school.</p>
<p>AP Calc…</p>
<p>that’s a no brainer LMAO.</p>
<p>I vote calc.</p>
<p>So you want to major in humanities and don’t want to go to med school? </p>
<p>You don’t exist! You’re a hypothetical situation! It’s not true!</p>
<p>Assuming you’ve taken some HS-level Bio class already, take Calc. At top schools almost everyone will have taken Calc, far fewer Bio.</p>
<p>However if you haven’t taken a HS-level Bio, take AP Bio absolutely.</p>
<p>lol i think im going to go with calc.</p>
<p>i took honors bio in 9th grade</p>
<p>Take both. Your pre-calc teacher doesn’t know ****.</p>
<p>Take both. 3 APs is not huge.</p>
<p>your teacher is a **** ***** ********* **** * *** **** *** * * *
take lots of ap’s.</p>
<p>but the way it is in my school is that you cant go to ap calc unless the really really difficult stereotypical hard-core asian calc teacher (whose my precal teacher) recommends you.
she said that she will NOT recommend me to ap calc if she sees that im taking ap biology -_-</p>
