Which Science Class to take

Applying to College
1

<p>11th Grade:
Honors Biology
AP Physics B
Science Research II Honors
or
AP Physics B
AP Biology
Science Research II Honors</p>

<p>12th Grade:
AP Chemistry
AP Biology
or
AP Physics C
AP Chemistry</p>

<p>If I go with the first set of science classes I would have the AP Version of all the courses, and my 11th grade AP Load would be at 2 classes. is that good?</p>

<p>If I go with the second set, I would have all the AP Sciences + Physics C which most people don't take at my school, but I would have 3 AP's in 11th grade and a much harder work load, and I would need to take Biology in the summer after 10th grade.</p>

<p>What do you guys think about both sets? Thank you So much. Looking to get into Stanford or Ivy.</p>

2

<p>Take the hardest set of classes possible.</p>

3

<p>Try to stay focused in one area of science. I say:</p>

<p>AP Bio
Physics B
Science Research</p>

<p>and then:</p>

<p>Physics C
AP Chem</p>

<p>Although it may seem hard, colleges like the ivies are looking for hard course loads.</p>

4

<p>I would not suggest you take two AP science classes in one year. Take an AP Math, AP Science, AP History, AP Eng, and an AP language. If you want, add AP Stats or AP Eco, but don’t double up your sciences. It’s not only hard, but stupid (that’s harsh, but you won’t do it justice). After 5 APs, colleges think you’re taking so many just to impress.</p>

5

<p>I love AP chemistry! It’s pretty sweet I think you should totally take it, but take whichever classes you’d feel most interested in!</p>

6

<p>I think it depends on what you want to study in college. If you are a sciency person then those APs are important, but if you are into the humanities then you shouldn’t worry about taking every AP science class.</p>

7

<p>What grade are you in now? That is important as well.</p>
