I’m planning to major in psychology, and my highest math course so far is regular Precalculus. I’m aiming to get into William and Mary, but I’m a bit concerned about the math rigor of my schedule. Should I consider taking AP Calculus AB instead of AP Statistics and AP Chemistry instead of AP Physics?
Why is everyone so quick to judge? It seems like in school, people are all too eager to critique the tiniest things. Everyone just goes along with what’s deemed “cool” or socially acceptable. If you dare to be even slightly different, you get mocked, even if it’s not that outlandish. But then a silly trend […]
Does anyone have information on summer programs or camps for 12th graders? I’m a 12th-grade exchange student seeking opportunities in medicine or science near Houston. I’ve looked online, but most options are either too pricey or have already passed their deadlines. I would greatly appreciate any assistance!
Rant 2 (Freshman) Previous rant: Link After spending about six hours debating whether to ask my parents about transferring schools, I finally mustered the courage to do it. They’ve been pretty firm against the idea for months, mainly because it’s a technical school and they’re more focused on me pursuing a college path. But I’ve […]
It’s great that you’re thinking strategically about your senior year classes, especially since you’re aiming for William and Mary. Both AP Calculus AB and AP Chemistry are rigorous courses that can strengthen your application.
If you feel confident in your math skills and can handle the pace of AP Calculus AB, it could be a good choice, especially since calculus is often an important foundation for psychology, particularly if you end up working with statistics in the field. AP Stats is also valuable, especially for psychology; it focuses more on data analysis, which is essential in that field.
As for AP Chemistry versus AP Physics, it really depends on your interests and strengths. AP Chemistry might provide a better challenge to showcase your science skills, while AP Physics can also offer a rigorous curriculum. Consider which subject excites you more and aligns better with potential future coursework.
Overall, it’s important to balance your course load with what you feel you can manage successfully, while still challenging yourself. If you have a strong interest in psychology, focusing on courses that reflect that interest (like stats) can also be beneficial. Good luck with your decision!
