<p>My school offers 10 AP courses, 5 of them which I can’t/won’t take (2 AP Art courses, AP Micro, AP French, and one other I can’t remember), because I want to go into Med and I don’t like Art/Micro/French.</p>
<p>The other five my school offers and I’ll take: AP Physics, AP Chem, AP Calc, AP Eng Lit, AP Eng Lang.</p>
<p>This is the problem:
I have the BEST teacher ever for Chemistry Enriched right now. He’s really knowledgable, and a lot of past students say he prepares you really well for uni. BUT, you can’t get a good GPA in that class. Our class average is 70%, and this is the 30 best students in the school taking Chem Enriched right now (next year is AP Chem)(it’s a two year course). I want this teacher and I want to take the AP chem test because I love chem, but I’m scared it’s going to drop my already low (3.8) GPA down. I was class average, so yes, straight-A me now has a freaking 70% for interms right now. BUT, I think I can somehow stick through it.</p>
<p>This is my biggest problem:
I’m a math kid. I love math. I love how numbers add up and I love how graphs move around, and in short, I’m the biggest math nerd around.</p>
<p>I. Hate. Physics. I don’t get it. We’ve just started Kinematics/Projectile motion and literally, the course sounds like a different language.</p>
<p>I want to go into JHU, but I’m international, Asian, and I need some sort of Aid. These are three big disadvantages right here. But if I drop AP Physics as well, I feel that maybe they’ll think I’m not a hard worker.</p>
<p>I panic every class in Physics. I hate it. I don’t understand it, and it’s my least favourite subject. I love Chemistry, so I’m willing to put the effort into it, but break down every time I don’t understand a question in Physics.</p>
<p>Should I just take regular Physics 11 and 12 or should I stick with AP Physics? I just don’t want to regret anything later.
Also, do I even NEED physics for Med? What is the minimum amount of years I can take it for? Our school doesn’t offer AP Bio so I feel like I’m at a disadvantage already, but ugh AP Physics is literally killing me right now. PLUS we lost a month of school because of the teacher strike (if you’re interested, search up BC teachers strike lol), so we apparently need to self-teach ourselves over winter break and take the test. sue me.</p>
<p>Or–do you think it’ll be better if I take AP Chem, regular physics, and study AP Bio by myself? We do have Bio 11/12 so I’m sure I can somehow manage to study it.</p>
<p>Please help me. I’ve been so stressed out.</p>
