<p>I am choosing between "General Introductory Physics," "Concepts of Physics," and "Preparatory Physics." Which one will look the best on apps?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>All are equal, but you shouldn’t focus on things solely because they look good on apps.</p>
<p>Read the course descriptions and pick whichever one sounds most interesting to you. There probably aren’t a lot of differences, but there must be something otherwise it would all be one course (assuming all courses are offered through the same institution). Also, skieurope is correct. Don’t choose to do something just because it will look on an application. Do things you are actually interested in; this is why I suggested that you pick the course that you think you might like better. </p>
<p>“General Introductory Physics” is probably a course intended for biology majors and pre-meds, using a little calculus or maybe no calculus (check the listed prerequisites).</p>
<p>“Concepts of Physics” is probably a course for humanities and social studies majors to fulfill science breadth requirements.</p>
<p>“Preparatory Physics” is probably a course for students who have not had high school physics but want to take a more in-depth physics course probably called “Physics for Scientists and Engineers” (that uses more math than any of the other options).</p>
