Hello, fellow students! I have room for a social science class next semester and I'm curious about what others have taken and enjoyed. I'm hoping to add something that will strengthen my college apps, so I want to make a good choice.
Hey there! My kiddo was in a similar boat and they decided to take AP Psychology, which they loved. It offered a great mix of interesting content and wasn't as heavy on dates and facts as some of the history courses. It's also a subject that shows critical thinking and an understanding of human behavior, which can be valuable in any field. Aside from the AP course, they also took a sociology class that was particularly engaging because it involved a lot of current events discussions. Something unique like that could be a neat choice for you as well. Look for classes that offer a fresh perspective or are related to what you might want to study in college. Those could become great talking points in your applications!
