Hello! So I've posted before and I was new and I put this in the wrong category/section
But, I'm pretty sure my topic now is in the right section:P
So I'm basically stuck between Science and Math classes in highschool.
Thank's to the "great" variety at my school, I'm going to have to choose between those two science classes and those two math classes.
Here's the thing- Psychology ( at least to me) seem's way more relevant than Physics. But, physics ( Like AP physics) look's way better ( at least what my school says...) on a college resume.
Then, with Calculus and Business & statistical math..I know Calculus is a way harder form but I know my aunt's a nurse and she never even took Calculus..but then again she graduated quite awhile ago. But, Business & AP stats would deal with fractions I'm guessing and percents and all that. From my research, it's mostly Algebra and basic math.
So what classes should I take that would 1. Increase my chances at a good program and 2. Be more beneficial for me

So...are you trying to be a nurse, or something? Physics and calculus isn't required for nursing. It almost sounds like you're going the pre-med route.
Statistics, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, developmental psychology over the lifespan, microbiology, and nutrition should be the only prerequisites you need.

When I was in high school I took advanced calculus and physics, but I didn't know what I wanted to major in during college. I suggest the AP stats class and psychology;)
