^ The reason why WongTongTong said that your comment is absurd is because you are implying a false dichotomy - i.e., take AP Bio, go to NU; take AP Chem, go to MIT. This is logically all sorts of wrong, and I shouldn’t have to explain why.

For example, I took neither, but go to NU. In fact, I took the AP Chem “equivalent” at my school, but my biology education was not similar to AP Bio (I took immunology, molecular cell biology, genetics, bioinformatics, all at a very focused level but absolutely no plant/evolution/etc.).

@ 161803 I say take what you want, but if you are completely uncertain, take AP Chem. Considering that as a premed, you will most likely be taking chem as a freshman and forget any of your high school biology by the time your reach the bio sequence, it will most likely be more useful.
