I'm going to be a senior in hs this fall and am still fretting over my schedule. It's either IB Chem or AP Comp Sci A.
I can't take ap chem because i don't have space for the dbl pd class but ib covers most of it and with a little self-study (i have had friends who successfully done this, although it does suck a little) i can take the ap chem exam without too much issue
I want to major in electrical/computer science at Cal or, more generally computer hardware engineering/ electronics engineering. From what I've looked up, chem doesn't seem essential for these areas, but I wanted to get other opinions from more informed people.
I would prefer to take comp sci, as it offers a bit of a break from traditional science/math (i'm signed up for mv calc and ib physics 2 next year as well) but if chemistry will help me get into the programs I want, I don't want to cop out..
Thanks
In addition, I did take Pre-IB Chemistry (about equivalent to an honors course) sophomore year
