Should I take compsci or physics?

Some colleges have CS in the engineering division, which tends to require physics in college. It will be more difficult to take physics in college if you have not had physics in high school (but high school physics does not have to be AP physics).

Of course, if you target colleges where CS is in the arts and sciences division, physics is less likely to be a major requirement. But more selective colleges may want to see physics among your sciences (again, it does not have to be AP physics for this purpose).
