Hey,

So my high school is offering AP biology. I'm all honors, so I'll have to take honors chemistry next year (A lot of math). I already have AP Computer Science Principles and AP World History lined up, so throwing on two more APs in high school doesn't seem too wise. Is biology something colleges look at? I'm interested in become perhaps a software engineer or perhaps a software architect.

AP is advanced placement. They're basically classes that count in college, meaning you don't have to take them again in college.

I'm interested in tech colleges, by the way. I'm not going to some medical school with obscure tech programs.

Thanks

I have no idea what an AP is, but I'll give the same advice I always give to this question.

You're not an entrance qualification, and you will not be a career when you're done your education. Study what interests you. If you have no interest, make your studies wide until you've found your interest. If you've already found your interest, make your studies wide in case you lose your interest.

Post-secondary education institutes often look at your overall average, as well as other factors such as work load and extracurriculars. If you can pull off all those honours courses, it will prove you can handle an engineering workload post-secondary.

I never studied biology in high school and I managed to get an education and a job. Funny thing was, the only prereq for both first year biology and first year chemistry was senior-year (grade 13!) high school physics.
