Science
Okay. Here is the deal.
I am currently a sophomore. Last year I took chemistry, this year I am taking biology.
Next year and the year after that I have to choose between AP Bio, AP Environmental Science, AP Physics, Environmental Science and Physics. I can take two of them. I have not taken a physics class because we tok physics in 8th grade and that doesn't count and apparently you need physics for colleges and I don't know what to do...
WHICH ONES SHOULD I TAKE? I want to take AP Bio next year but I don't know what to do after that or should I even take AP Bio? I feel like the transition will be better
I want to be an orthodontist or dentist!! =D

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
a good idea would be to take regular physics next year (or AP if you want to) because colleges want DEFINATELY want to see that you have taken three years of different sciences (bio, chem, and physics are the best ones to take)
But junior year usually has the most workload considering other AP classes (like english, history etc.), so don't super load up your schedule or you will be stressed to no end. Being in highschool myself i know how crazy that can be. If you take phyics next year, then you could take AP Bio your senior year because usually senior year is more relaxed. Or maybe try to find out if your school offers summer courses. Like at my school we can take physics over the summer and get it over with so that we can take AP chem and AP bio for junior or senior years.
However, depending on the number of other difficult classes you are taking, i think that Bio and Physics are the best options for you. Whether you take AP Phyics or not depends on if you have a super jammed schedule or not!
really hope this helps. good luck with your denistry career.

i think the best thing would be AP bio. i'm planning on going into the medical field and i know that biology's a major course you need to have experience with. good luck getting into college! :)

Dear Future Dental Professional,
Hi. It sounds like you could use some good advice about planning the rest of your high school curriculum for maximum impact when it's time to apply for college. Right?
Maybe I can help. I'm with a college planning firm called College Admissions Assistance. We can help you (and your family) make important decisions like which classes to take. In fact, we can offer you a free family educational workshop that covers the 7 Critical College Decisions that affect your college experience starting as early as the 8th grade.
It's what I do in the Tampa (FL) area and I'm sure there will be a free workshop in your area soon. You can check out our company website at (caaconnect.com) or get inspired at my website (yesihaveawebsite.com). No kidding. That's my web address.
Good luck with biology this year. Here's a reason to seriously consider taking AP classes next year. It can dramatically bump up your GPA because they're worth more than regular classes. Check out this blog entry by a fellow high school student:
