I'm going to pursue on Computer Science/Engineering. What high school courses should I take?

I'm a high school junior. Today we are ask to pick our class for next year.


After discussing with guidance, here are the picks:


-Pre-Calculus


-English


-AP Chemistry


-Computer Science


-Psychics


-Government


-Economics





Do you think these classes will help me in my future career?


If no, which other classes do you recommend?


I have taken Chemistry, should I take AP Chemistry?

You're taking the right sort of classes for the major that you want. If you can handle AP Chem, I would have you take it. It will certainly help re: college admission in your field. And next year, if you can take another AP or even two, that'd be great. And next year, you'll be taking Calculus, right on track. Perfect.





I am a bit concerned - do you already have foreign language? Most universities require that you have at least two years of high school foreign language, so if you don't have this, or aren't already fluent in a second language, then you may want to check the websites and catalogues for the universities you are considering, to see if they do have a language requirement that they expect of applicants. Most require at least two years.





The other thing I want to check on is that you've taken a year of biology. Most CS and engineering programs want you to have at least a year of physics, chem, and bio. If you haven't taken bio, take it.





Otherwise, you're well on your way.
Reply:no need to take AP chem. Just take the AP test in the spring...





The best thing I can think for you to do, would be outside of school. Why don't you try to get an apprenticeship somewhere in your town dealing with this field. Experience is worth more than taking the class lecture notes... good luck!
