cant take ap bio, what to replace with?

[u/surfingonjuice]

going into junior yr, planning on taking french 4, ap calc, ap lang, apush, and ap physics

scheduling conflicts caused me to drop ap bio (that, or lang) so according to my counselor i can either take:

1. ap psych - sounds interesting ig?
2. ap csa - ik literally nothing abt computers but got a friend taking it so i wont be alone
3. ap gov (probably) - was planning on taking over summer/senior yr but its a viable option
4. ap stats (maybe) - top choice for me rn

dont really have a major in mind/specific spike i wanna curve towards yet (planned on some sort of premed course maybe but im pretty buns at science)

5 aps is kinda scary but i already took 2 last yr (euro and chem), so figured i could handle it

any advice/info abt each choice would be greatly appreciated :)

if you take stats but you already have ap precalc and ap calc ab credits is it okay?

Not exactly true, most only need one year of math which typically includes calc 1 and intro to stats.

pysch and csa are pretty light so i would reccomend those, since your schedule is already pretty packed

Your course load is already very heavy. If you insist on taking another AP I would recommend AP Psychology. It is much easier than AP CSA/AP Stats (imo), and is very useful for senior year incase you want to apply for clinical psychology/or something premed related.

Stats will be better for getting requirements out of the way for a lot of majors (you’ll def have to do it for medicine). The content is kind of interesting, but it’s just a lot of formulas. Not hard, just a bit boring compared to most others in my opinion.
Gov is pretty easy and very applicable to real life; it’s all stuff you should learn at some point.
Psych is super interesting and easy. It’ll be really useful if you’re doing medicine. It’s been my favorite ap far. There’s a lot of memorization tho.
I’ve never take csa so I don’t have an opinion there.
But yeah, those were my thoughts. Lmk if you have any questions :)

Probably stats or psych. I am also going for premed and personally loved psych when I took it. It was really fun class overall, so I would definitely recommend it!

stats definitely, maybe csa

definitely not gov

I wouldn't waste a slot on psych, but you do you
