I'm in the process of selecting my courses for my senior year, but I can't decide whether to take AP Chemistry or AP Physics. I know chemistry and physics are both emphasized and taken at USAFA, but is one looked at more favorably than the other?
A little background on my school. I go to a small private school that is extremely rigorous academically. All of my classes are honors classes and because of this, we are only allowed to take 3 AP's in a single year. So far, I will be taking AP Calculus BC, AP Mandarin 5, and either AP Chemistry or AP Physics. At my school, AP Physics has the reputation of being the hardest science class; one that requires a lot of commitment outside of regular school hours. AP Chemistry will still be challenging, but won't require as much commitment. So far, I'm leaning towards chemistry because I like it more, but I'm willing to take AP Physics if that would be better for my USAFA application. And before someone suggests it, I have already asked my counselor if I can take both classes (4 AP's in a year), but he said no because it goes against school policy. :/
A little insight would be much appreciated. Thanks.
