Senior Year Classes:
– DE English
– DE Government
– AP Statistics
– AP Physics 1
– AP Environmental Science
– ASL 4 Honors
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?
A little off-topic, but how’s everyone doing? I’m doing well!
Hey everyone! I’m an incoming freshman and I’ve got my schedule set for next year. I’d love to get some advice or insights on the courses I’ll be taking since I’m a bit nervous about it all. Have any of you had experience with these classes, especially if you’ve taken them together? Here’s what I’m […]
This basically captures my entire life! Also, how on earth did I end up with a 119? 😭
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!
