I am at the point in my junior year when I need to pick my classes for next year. I understand
the Academy emphasizes STEM courses. However, math is not a subject I would
describe as being easy for me. I have taken all algebra courses, geometry,
trigonometry, and statistics so far. I did not to take pre-calculus or
calculus in high school, and would elect to take AP-statistics next year
instead. I would like to know how strongly this decision would be looked
down upon by admissions? I have only attained an A grade one high school
math course, so additional math would be consequential to my GPA. I do have
good grades in lab sciences, getting As in physics, chemistry, and biology.
Is this that enough to carry my weak math base? I would take additional
science, (even AP sciences) next year, but I am not confident I could get
an A in those.
For now, the classes I have lined up are AP Gov, AP English Lit, AP
Statistics, and ASB (A required class for student government). This leaves
room for 1 more course, weather it be additional math, additional science,
or maybe another course that could make up for my gap in math (AP computer
science maybe?)If you disagree with some of the courses I plan on taking,
let me know what would be a better alternative. Thanks for your time, and I
hope to hear some input on what would best prepare me.
Uncertain if it is appropriate to post this here, if not please direct me.
