Do I need to take more science classes?
Answered

Hi! I'm a rising sophomore, and I'm trying to figure out how to schedule the rest of my high school career. I would like to go into a biology-related career path, so I'm taking lots of science over the coming year. I'm planning to take 9 life science and 3 physical science classes. Do you think this is enough? I'm also doing multiple extracurriculars for this field. However, I might also want to diversify my resume a bit with some more art or language classes. Do you have any advice? Thanks so much!

That definitely sounds like enough! If your class offers AP, I recommend taking all the AP science classes. I would prioritize demonstrating dedication and interest in science over diversifying.
