A surgeon to-be?
Answer:
First of all, I hope you learn to spell "college". A "collage" is what you make in camp out of pictures cut from magazines.
Secondly, if you don't think you can handle AP Bio, you'll never make it into, much less through, medical school.
Thirdly, AP Bio in high school is easy compared to a good college biology course, which is NOTHING compared to medical school anatomy and physiology courses. You need to build a strong foundation of science knowledge. Why take it in college if you're just going to take it again in med school? Because you need to already know SOME of it so that you are prepared to learn MORE of it.
Lastly, if you're just trying to take the easiest route, forget about surgery. Those people work HARD. And they LIKE it.
Take it. You will be better prepared for college. In college, you will take even more advanced courses. Take the free high school course. Med school courses costs 10's of thousands or dollars.
Having taken science course in colleges, let be give you a tip. The high school science courses are kid stuff compared to those at the college level, so it is in your best interest to take all the science courses you can in high school.
If you don't start challenging yourself now, you'll be less likely survive your undergraduate career, much less getting accepted and lasting through medical school.
"Since I can always."
You should never write/say/think that.
Becoming a surgeon is not an easy path.
If you think that way, it will be alot harder.
Never think "If I won't do it now, I'll do it later"
I advise you to take A.P Bio over the summer ( like other users )
But most A.P course only run for 6 weeks.
I also took A.P Algebra 1 and 2 and Trig.
During the school year, I had to brush up on what I learned in that short period of time.
So I advise you to take A.P Bio, but study it through out the year. Study before you take the course and review after.
This is the best way to get the most knowledge
I agree with all the previous comments--if you want to be a surgeon, slacking off is not an option. That being said, I did not take AP Biology and had no problem getting into medical school. So no, you don't have to take it.
