Sunbrite,my son who is a junior just made his senior schedule. He is interested in possibly majoring in engineering. He chose to take AP Bio over AP Physics. He already has taken Honors Physics. I am interested in why you think the Physics would have been a better choice and if you think it will make a big difference in selective admissions. I appreciate your time in offering your opinion.
Physics is the course most related to Engineering but I think if your son already has PhysicsH under his belt, taking AP Bio senior yr would make sense too, particularly if has an interest in Biomed engineering. Perhaps he can also demonstrate mastery by sitting for SAT II Physics this Spring or next Fall. Good luck!
You're welcome! I am always impressed with high school students who have taken all 3 major sciences before senior year, and hopefully selective admissions officers will be too.
