<p>I am a Sophomore, need to plan for next 2 yr AP courses and need some help. Primarily targeting a top tier college, and mostly Med career track,</p>
<p>So far I took
AP GOV (Freshman),
AP Econ
AP Lang
AP Bio
AP Enviro</p>
<p>Finalized AP calc AB, and AP Chem to take in Jr and senior yrs</p>
<p>Now I need to decide among following 2 or 3 what’s your best bet ! also any idea with Q’s below.</p>
<p>AP Psych - can this be a self study ?
AP Euro, AP stat - is there any use for them if i am looking for Med career
AP Music theory - is this a tough one ? I have been taking Piano lessons for 6 yrs, so wondering if this would help broaden my profile in ECs ?
AP Phys - saw some claim this is better to be done along with AP calc AB ?? why ??</p>
<p>Psych can be a self-study.
Only AP Physics “C” is good to take along with Calc AB, since I believe that C uses utilizes Calculus in its studies.</p>
<p>I’d say take Physics and Music Theory, and self study Psych.</p>
<p>Thanks Hobbithill - I have done well with Math, but not my fave, so try to avoid BC as i heard it’s a challenge course and mainly reqmt for Engg/tech - so not sure for Pre-med track does it add any value ? also am trying to limit the number of AP’s and start to focus on EC’s - otherwise worried that I might get buried with Academics !</p>
<p>Physics C is Calculus intensive. Calc AB only teaches the bare minimum to be able to understand limits, derivatives, and integrals. AB however does not teach you essential techniques for mechanically simplifying more complicated d/int problems. I wouldn’t recommend Physics C with a concurrent Calc AB course if you’re aiming for a 5.</p>
