Should I take AP Bio?

I want to go into forensic investigation and my goal is to get into the FBI. I got a solid B both semesters with the hardest bio teacher and i go to a huge school in Iowa (which is very competitive because we are one of the top education stuff) and my teacher said that i should go into it. but would it make a difference if i didnt do it? would it effect my chances? I plan to go to the collage in platteville, Wisconsin that has a awesome program. Just curious if taking AP bio is a must.

    Some of the material you learn in AP Biology will also show up in college biology courses, which is one of the reasons that universities give college credit to students who score a 3 or above (some schools require a 4 or above).

    Like I said, it will definitely help you, so that when it shows up again in more detailed courses such as genetics and molecular biology, you will be familiar with some of the material that is covered in the first half of the course. Of course, genetics and molecular biology are upper division courses and will cover in far more detail, the material that you were introduced to in high-school in prep for AP.

  • You should take it if you want to major in forensics. It's a fun class. It's much harder now as of 2013 than it was before though. The new material is difficult and only like 5% get 5s on the exam.

    I think you should take it though cause it's an interesting class.
