AP classes to take for MBA and JD?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>I’m a rising freshman attending an international school in Korea, and I’d like to have a head start on studying for my APs. I know there’s this huge prejudice against Koreans that they take a ridiculous number of AP tests (which they tend to do) and are all study study, regurgitate, regurgitate. Though that may be true for some, that is definitely not true for me! Though I do plan to take a fair few…</p>

<p>I plan to major in business and get a degree in law. If possible, to hold both an MBA and JD. Do you have any suggestions on what AP subjects I should take? How to self study them? </p>

<p>Since I had to go through A LOT to get into my school’s math double up program, I am going to take Calculus AB and BC as well as Satistics for sure. Same goes for English Language and English Literature. I also am leaning towards Macro and Micro Economics, US Government and Politics, and US History. Oh yes, and Psychology.</p>

<p>Considering this:
-Would World History or European History help more. I can do both-would both be better?
-Chemistry or Physics better? Or Biology?
-Comp Government and Politics or US Government and Politics or both?
-Chinese, French, or Latin? French and Latin not offered at school but I really wish to learn French over my mother’s wish that I learn Chinese.</p>

<p>Please don’t gape at the number of APs I plan to take. It may sound crazy, but this is one of the few ways that Koreans can get anywhere these days. Don’t worry about my extracurriculers or school grades or recommendations as I have them all up in top shape. </p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>I do not hold this “prejudice,” but I can say that one does not start preparing for a J.D. or an M.B.A. in high school.</p>

<p>But, if you want my recommendations, and not my advice, here they are:</p>

<p>Calculus BC
Chinese Language and Literature
Computer Science A <em>they will be eliminating AB</em>
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
English Literature</p>

<p>To be honest, these are all one really should look at for the M.B.A. For J.D., it does not matter so much.</p>

<p>On top of kwu’s recommendations, you might want to look at the sciences also if you plan on going into patent law.</p>

<p>Wow, thanks kwu and ftc123. Any suggestions on the sciences? And do you believe computer science completely necessary? I’m a complete flop with technology, see. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Do you know which AP subjects are “easiest” to take? Like which ones the majority of the people do well on?</p>

<p>AP Bio is a piece of cake if you’re OK with memorizing a lot of stuff.</p>
