r/APphysicsC

Hi! I was hoping to get people's advice on something!

I’m a rising junior and want to go into pre-med after high school. My schedule just came out, and instead of the AP Physics C I forecasted for, they put me in AP Chemistry (alongside AP Bio and AP Calc AB).

I’m kind of torn on whether to ask my counselor to switch it back or just keep it:

• On one hand, AP Chem scares me because I got B’s both semesters in sophomore chem, whereas I got straight A’s in freshman physics.
• On the other hand, I know AP Bio + AP Chem together is a brutal workload, but I’ve heard AP Calc + AP Physics C is an even worse combo.

Since AP Chem and Bio fit pre-med so well, do you think this mistake is a blessing in disguise? Or should I try to switch back to Physics C?

Would love to know your thoughts if you have a quick second. Thank you so much!
