[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s possible to take AP Bio instead of bio at some schools.  We talked to someone affiliated with admissions at a selective school and she said that the fact that my DS took honors bio instead of AP junior year could be held against him.  He has no interest in science or math.  [/quote]

My kid took AP Physics 1 in 9th grade, Honors Chem in 10th and now AP Bio. Never enrolled in Honors Bio. [/quote]
OP here:
 This is so annoying as the counselor my son has at BCC made it sound like Honors Bio was the only option(if not reg Bio) for 9th grade science. My kid is very science oriented. So annoyed.[/quote]

It could be at BCC. [/quote]

Every school has a different pattern/order and they sometimes even change it up within a school.  It's kind of nice because it means your freshman in bio is with other freshmen.  The order doesn't really matter-- at all schools, the most science-oriented kids will still take honors bio, honors chem and ap physics 1 (or honors physics). Some kids take one course per year but more science-oriented kids often take 2 in 3 years.  So you're completely on the science-oriented track.  Just be sure to ask about taking both chem and physics sophomore year.  Which gives you junior and senior year for as many ap sciences as you'd like.  [/quote]
