hi! i had this posted over at the AP board when I realized that it is certainly more appropriate in this part of the boards. any advice is welcomed and much appreciated

----------------------

hi everyone i'm new . I've been reading through the posts here and everyone seems so together & with it...it makes me feel so inadequate!! lol

anywho, I just wanted to get some input from you guys. my schedule for next year was due like 2 weeks ago, and I still haven't turned it in b/c i have a dilemma.
so far my schedule is:
1. AP Bio
2. Bio Study Hall (required class b/c of Lab)
3. AP English Lit
4. AP Gov/Honors Econ. (split year course at my school)
5. AP Stats
6. Leadership (required cause I won SGA pres this year)
...and...
7. Honors Physics -or- AP Human Geo.
so here is where my problem is...which one should I take? Physics is like a core science, but I have taken Hns. Bio & Chem, and AP Chem., and i'm taking AP Bio next year. would it be a big problem if I didn't take physics? and then I'm also unsure cause it's good to have a diverse background, so getting even just the basics of physics would be good. but then on the other hand I suck at math-y sciences (ie: chem and physics lol), and I really like history (possible major?), so Human Geography would be all that and an AP, and I could use another AP to help out my rank and GPA, since stupid leadership is a regular class ,and the others in my year seem to be taking more APs then I earlier believed.

so... core science, or AP class to help GPA and rank??

if it makes a difference I'll be a senior next year and have taken 6 APs so far (euro 10th gr, and psych, eng, chem, span, & US this year)

thanks to anyone who can offer some advice!!!

GPA and Rank= not good motives
I say go for physics, becuase you really should take physics at some point. And wouldnt you hate it if some college you want to go to says that you have to have had at least one year of physics to apply there or something?

I have heard that Human Geo is easy, so try self studying it. Or if the school will let you, take it in addition to physics!

Best of luck,
