<p>I’m probably in the minority here, but I really feel that one AP class more or less (especially in the sciences, when you’re a senior and have a great record already) when you’re going to be an arts major, especially in a BFA program, doesn’t make one whit of difference. </p>
<p>BFA programs don’t tend to have that many distributional academic requirements. You might very well end up not being required to take any science classes in college at all.</p>
<p>My son was wondering whether to take AP Physics senior year. Almost all of his peers were taking it, but he really didn’t want to. I advised him to save his energies for college apps and college auditioning, and take an arts-related class that he wanted to take instead. He was very happy about the decision, and ultimately had some very good college acceptances.</p>
<p>Some of my son’s classmates did not get top grades in their senior APs, and as a result my son’s average earned him the salutatorian spot in the class…something he never would have expected. </p>
<p>You are already taking Physics Honors senior year. That should be more than enough, science-wise!</p>
<p>There is really no such thing as being too science-y, though. Schools love well rounded students. I should think your classes in principles of engineering and building and construction would be looked upon quite favorably by a school where you want to pursue a BFA or BA in theatre.</p>
<p>A lot of BFA programs really value a student who has some interest in technical theatre as well as acting. The fact that you took courses such as the above could be interpreted as a hint that you are that kind of student. </p>
<p>Best of luck to you, Hatsukoi.</p>
