Would not taking AP Chemistry hurt my chances of going to HYPSM + Ivy League?

Applying to College

<p>Chemistry is really not my forte and, next year for my junior year, the only AP science course available to me is AP Chemistry. However, I will be taking 4 other AP's and I don't want to do badly in them because of AP Chemistry (or the other way around), which I know I will have difficulty with. Will this hurt my chances of getting into HYPSM and the Ivy League Schools? I am planning on double majoring in Mathematics (general) and Finance or Economics, heading on into Investment Banking after college.</p>

<p>Here are the AP classes I have taken so far and will self-study:</p>

<p>9th Grade: AP Human Geography </p>

<p>10th Grade: AP World History; Self-study: AP Calculus AB, AP Environmental Science, (maybe: AP Chinese Language)</p>

<p>11th Grade: AP Calculus BC, AP English Language, AP US History, AP Spanish Language
Other classes: Physics Honors
Note: If AP Chemistry really is important, then I'm debating on getting rid of AP Spanish Language. However, I want to make a point on my college app that I like learning foreign languages, which I do. During 11th grade I will be taking Japanese classes at the local CC.</p>

<p>12th Grade: AP Statistics, AP English Literature, AP Macro/Microeconomics, AP US Government, AP Biology</p>

<p>Jigglypuff! Sing us a song!</p>

<p>Yes, it’s important. It’s not too difficult so don’t worry about being overwhelmed.</p>

<p>You’re already taking plenty of science, and plenty of AP. So unless you plan to major in chemistry, which I assume you do not since you do not enjoy it, just skip it.</p>

<p>I don’t think you need to. Really depends on what you hear from other people who have taken that class. YOu have enough APs.</p>
