Hi,
I am currently a sophomore in high school. Course selection for junior year is coming up, and I have a question about what I should do.
I am in a position right now where I could take AP Chem junior year and AP Physics senior year, or take AP Physics and AP Physics C both years. I really don’t know what I should do service academy wise.
Details:
In my school, if you want to be able to do 3 AP sciences, you need to take Honors Bio freshman year. Due to me not having prerequisites from 8th grade, I was unable to do this, and instead took Honors Geo Physical Science freshman year, a class that did actually cover physics a little. Additionally, I am currently taking “PLTW Principles of Engineering” right now, a class that is very, very heavy on physics. I will be giving the PLTW exam on this around June.
In case this helps, here are the Honors/AP/College classes in addition to the ones above, some are completed, some happening next year(I have more AP's planned in senior year too, but I don’t know how much of an impact those have due to the SA timeline):
AP World - 10
AP Comp Sci Principles(Independent Study) - 10
AP Comp Sci A(Independent Study) - 11
AP US - 11
AP Lang - 11
AP Precalc(hopefully school offers) - 11
Honors English - 9/10
Honors Chinese(5th year taking Chinese this year if that helps, plan on continuing till senior year) - 10/11
Honors Bio - 10
Accelerated Algebra 2 - 10
Accelerated Geometry - 9
PLTW Intro to Engineering - 9, got highest category “Distinguished” on the exam.
PLTW DE - 11
I want to in either major aerospace/aeronautical or Comp sci, and I intend on applying at USAFA too.
Thanks
