[quote=Anonymous]Hi. I am a rising senior in high school and my course selections were already made in February. Recently, I have been interested in the field of national security and intelligence. While filling out my course registration this winter,I had a humanities major in mind like public policy. As a result, I wasn’t really thinking of picking courses that are technology based. There’s this program at IU that I am really interested in that involves cybersecurity and technological skills. To enhance my application to this program, I feel that it would be best for me to take AP Computer Science Principles(it’s the only AP Computer Science course offered at my school). It would also be great to have some sort of a technology foundation before entering college, especially in the field of intelligence and data where cybersecurity skills are a plus while looking for jobs in CIA, FBI etc. The course that I am currently scheduled to take for my science requirement next year is Anatomy and Physiology Honors. Although this is useful, it is more of a course geared towards those interested in the medical field. Since that is not near my interests, it is worth for me to switch over to AP Computer Science Principles and does it look as good and rigorous as Anatomy Honors when applying to college. Many students seem to take AP CompSci as an elective course. Since this would be my core science class next year, would it suffice? Thank you and sorry for the lengthy post! [/quote]
