What science course did your college student take as a jr and sr in HS?

If you can break it out, I'd appreciate it. Again, for HS.

For college admission what matters is what the HS offers and what other students at that HS take. Not some random people across various school districts.

But, sure here it goes:
Junior:
Magnet Physics (covered AP Physics 1 and half of AP Physics 2)
AP Calc BC
Magnet Integrative STEM
Magnet Biochemistry
Magnet Organic Chemistry

Senior:
AP Physics C & ME (one year - each segment covered in one semester)
AP Biology
Magnet Multivariable/Differential Equations
Magnet Microbiology
Magnet Analytical Chemistry
Magnet Marine Biology
Magnet Astronomy

NOTE: each year all 5 core classes were covered.

One of my kids took

11th grade - AP environmental science
12th grade- no science!!!

humanities major with a very good extracurricular activities in high school relevant to his field of study, took extra class related to presumed major in 12th grade in place of science, had 2 T25 offers.
(since I assume that is what you are asking)

Other DS

11th grade- honors physics
12th grade- honors physics II (at school with no AP classes)

DS interested in STEM

Jr: Physics
Sr. Nothing

Had a good reason/ equally rigorous class to substitute Senior year. Attending WM.

DD currently in college:

11: AP Physics
12: AP Bio

DC in high school, tentatively planning on art school:

11: DE environmental science
12: not sure yet - maybe Physics? But our school only offers AP Physics, not Honors and I can't see him doing well in AP

My humanities major kid took Honors Physics as a junior and AP Biology as a senior.
