At my school system, we lay down a "Four Year Plan" as Freshmen as a basis of our future classes. With that in mind, I plan to go to some sort of College for Computer Science/Computer Engineering and I'm wondering what the best Science path would be after Chemistry this next year. I love both Chemistry and Physics but I'm wondering what would be best for Engineering.
Also, would it be a good idea to do AP Physics B (Algebra Based) before AP Physics C Mechanics. If I didn't do that I could do AP Chemistry as well.

Thanks

For engineering I would definitely say pick physics over chemistry, unless you were thinking of chemical engineering. For other types of engineering I would say choose physics.

I am currently taking Physics and that sounds like the better choice. Go for physics.

Physics is arguably easier than chemistry, and is generally more useful for engineering as a general subject.

And yes, B>C.
