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?
Pre-calculus is really challenging for me right now. I recently moved to the U.S. from another country where I followed the IGCSE curriculum, and honestly, that was so much simpler. I never did the traditional algebra 2 route, yet I managed to score well enough on my placement test to get into pre-calc. The problem […]
Tips for Starting Conversations in a Small School At my school, which has around 300 students, it feels like everyone is already grouped up. So, how can I approach them and strike up a conversation?
Do guys feel intimidated by confident and intelligent girls? I see myself as both smart and self-assured. I’m succeeding in school and I confidently share my thoughts and opinions. I have no intention of changing who I am for anyone. I’m genuinely curious—could it be that the lack of guys showing interest in dating me […]
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!
