Honestly, I wish I took AP Physics C instrad of orchestra sophomore year. We got a new orchestra teacher that year and I really disliked her. I did dual enrollment for my junior and senior year so the AP Physics would have gotten me out of most of the physics sequence and allowed me to take more advanced mechanical engineering classss sooner and more of them (and credits = $$).
Then again, my dual enrollment physics teacher encouraged me to take some great higher level physics courses that I probably wouldn’t have taken otherwise so I guess it all worked out. Still, that orchestra teacher was the worst.
