[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid isn’t sure if they want to go into a stem field, how important is it to have an AP science? For example, if the student took an AP science junior year, do they really need to take one senior year or is one enough?[/quote]
If a STEM field is [i]a possibility[/i] and they are aiming for highly selective colleges, ideally for senior year they would choose AP chem, AP bio or AP physics C. I think the same applies even if the kid took AP Physics 1 as a first physics course junior year.[/quote]
To add, if they already took AP chem or AP bio or AP Physics C during junior year, then I think they're good, any science elective will do for senior year, provided they have at least one course of some type in the regular subject areas of bio, chem, and physics, plus an AP of one of these.[/quote]

So, AP Chem or Bio junior year checks the box, right?  My kid has not taken physics and I’m not sure AP works in the schedule bc it’s 2 periods. [/quote]
Yes. If they took AP Chem or AP Bio junior year, and have not taken physics yet, they can take regular physics senior year.[/quote]
