"I have also heard that if u are going to major in science like i wanna, then u shouldnt take ap science classes, instead u should take other ap's for diffremt subjects so u can have those credits done and do scince in college. (so u dont have to do ap science twice.)is that true"

whoever told you to NOT take science because you're going to take it in college is not seeing the whole picture. If you want to major in science / engineering stuff then take all the science you can get in high school. This way you'll be ahead of the game and can take advanced courses throughout your undergraduate career instead of the cattle drive of freshman year like everybody else. Sophomore year of college is usually the toughest for engineering types (was at my school). However, those of us who had a head start and took some of the sophomore cirriculum as freshman had a HUGE advantage. Also it gives you more time in college to explore different disciplines and see what you really like.

The level taught in AP classes is really only first-year stuff anyway. You don't really learn anything in until after the first year stuff.

As a final advantage point, you will be able to take graduate level courses as a junior / senior which is EXTREAMLY helpful for getting into grad school (which is more important than undergrad) or for getting that first job.

Trust me, Take as much math and science as you can in high school.

Good luck!

As a response to the person who is retaking bio 1 for med school. Somebody gave your friend BAD advice. Med school couldn't care less about bio1 on your transcript. They're going to care much much more about the high level courses you take later on. Its better to have more higher level courses than lower level courses.

Answer 3

what's your grade point average? what is your class rank? how large is your high school?

and why are you taking regular english after four years of honors?

unless you got all A's on all of your AP courses, are among the top 2% of your class, and go to a small or private school, there's no way this is ivy leauge worthy. last year's valedictorian got rejected from an ivy simply because the high school she came from was too large. i have friends who got deffered from ivies because they took music or or regular-level course. those lower your gpa, and thus your class rank. you might want to reconsider.

i know, that was harsh. but other than that, it's great. anywhere else should be all a go for you. =) and for the science classes, you can take AP but not take the test. hope this helped!

Answer 4

I think its true about not doing AP sciences.
I know someone who got credit for AP bio, but is still going to retake it because med schools want to see it on the transcript, not that u got AP credit and didnt take the class.
but if you want, you can still do them to give you a heads up and be more prepared when you take the class in college. Just dont use the credits if you received them from the AP test.

Answer 5

It's a great schedule, and it IS Ivy League-worthy. I hope your grades and your SAT scores are Ivy League-worthy as well. and, yes, you really should wait to do your science classes in college but be prepared to move fast. You might want to get a preview by taking 1 unit of a science from your local community college and ask for some advance reading material in addition.

Answer 6

it still would help to take at least one science AP. i think i would doubt your interest in science if you weren't even taking one senior year. also, most ivies wont accept AP credits so dont worry too much about trying to get all your gen. ed.s done. also, if youre going to take bio at an ivy league school, it may help you a lot to have gone through the AP Bio course at your school

Answer 7

More AP classes than I'm going to do. Just make sure you keep your grades up, and the colleges will come.

Answer 8

it rather is tragic. it fairly is sounds like a virulent disease at your college. i've got not got an answer for you. The community needs to look greater heavily into this. replaced into all of it adult men that committed suicide? unhappy....
