Potential Chemical Engineering. What Math and Science tracks should I take ?

<p>Ok I’m in a huge dilemma. I can only take Math and Science in these combinations (because some are Double Periods etc)</p>

<li><p>Math till MV Calc, 2 Years of Bio, 2 Years of Chemistry and 1 Year of Physics.</p></li>
<li><p>Math till MV Calc, 1 Year of Bio, 2 Years of Chemistry, 1 Year of Physics and 1 Year of Economics.</p></li>
<li><p>Math till Calc BC, 2 Years of Bio, 2 Years of Chemistry, 1 Year of Physics and Economics.</p></li>
<li><p>Math till Calc BC, 2 Years of Bio, 2 Years of Chemistry, 2 Years of Physics.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I’ll get at least one year of Chemistry and Physics (because they’re required in Freshman and Sophomore years respectively).</p>

<p>I’m interested in Chemical Engineering (or Biological Engineering, NOT BIOMEDICAL) and Business as well. I’d like to keep all my interests alive. Which track is the most beneficial ?</p>

<p>There’s another option actually. I can take Health over the summer (that’d open up a spot Sophomore Year), and take Physics then (But I’d have to get special permission for that). I’m currently taking AP Comparative Government and Health over that one spot (both are 1 semester classes). But I’m poor, so I’ll probably be working over the summer (and volunteering in what little time I have - I’m a recent immigrant and have only 20 hours of volunteering).</p>

<p>I’d say option 2. Taking math that high is definitely a plus for engineers, whereas Calc BC is kinda expected for the really good engineering schools. Also, you like business so econ won’t hurt. Good luck.</p>

<p>Also let me clarify those for a bit.</p>

<p>Biology - The Default would be normal (Pre-IB) and other one would be AP/IB Biology (HL - so Credit)</p>

<p>Chemistry - Default would be normal (Pre-IB), second addition -SL (no credit)</p>

<p>Physics - First year (SL) second year (HL - Credit).</p>

<p>Economics - School only offers SL, but Alumni have told me that taking the AP Micro/Macro Economics test is a piece of cake after this (so I might get credit).</p>

<p>I just thought of more combinations.</p>
