    Drawing Science
AI Thread Summary
Choosing between science and technical drawing/woodwork in high school depends on future goals and personal interests. Woodwork and technical drawing can lead to practical skills useful for careers in carpentry or design, while science is a core subject valued by universities. Not taking science may limit options for advanced courses like physics, chemistry, and biology later on. In some regions, science is mandatory until a certain grade, and taking additional science classes can enhance university admission prospects. Overall, it's important to balance personal interests with academic requirements to ensure a well-rounded education.

It really depends on what you hope to achieve and what you truly enjoy.

If you want to finish high school and find a carpentry apprenticeship for example, then wood working may be more useful. Similarly technical drawing could be useful for graphic design courses or an Architecture degree.

Science is more of a core subject and probably held in higher regard by most admissions tutors for universities.
 
ok thanks man

i like drawing so i think i will take woodwork and td

but i like science too

If you're just starting high school and will not be taking 'science', you won't be able to take physics, chemistry and biology later. You'd better take science. You can technical drawing and woodwork later.

How old are you and what country are you in? Where I'm from, you have to take science until grade 10 and then you have to take 1 of physics 11, chemistry 11 or biology 11 to even graduate.
 
I recommend you add some grammar classes to that (Only half joking). What country are you in? Here in the US, at least in my state, physical/earth science, biology, and chemistry or physics is mandatory.

Even a fourth and more science classes are recommended to even get into a wait list for a good university. I'm shooting for my fourth next year, and fifth and sixth senior year.

By the way, high school science classes here in the Us are embarrassingly easy.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
