Does it look better on your transcript if (in your junior year) you take AP Chemistry or AP Biology?

I plan on taking both eventually (one junior and one senior year), but which should I take junior year (next year)?Does it look better on your transcript if (in your junior year) you take AP Chemistry or AP Biology?
Actually, AP Bio is generally MUCH harder than AP Chem =]





And yet, bio is still both more fun and more interesting!Does it look better on your transcript if (in your junior year) you take AP Chemistry or AP Biology?
AP CHEM is kinda hard. i took that junior year so that i would work hard and do well. AP BIO is a little easier so i'm taking that right now as a senior. I recommend taking AP CHEM as a junior because its more actually studying and work. AP BIO is more busy work and reading the textbook, which is a little less work than AP CHEM. It doesn't matter when you take them, colleges only care about you grade in the class, and your AP score if you take the test (4-5 is what they want to see).
It doesn't matter which one you take. Colleges do not usually look at ( well I guess they do, but it doesn't affect they choice whole a lot) your grades for the AP class. They care most about your AP exam. I think both classes are good for you if you plan to major in medical biochemistry or pharmaceucial studies.
I've always been told that AP Chemistry or Organic Chemistry is harder than AP Bio, because you have to learn molecular structures and other formulas. Chemistry and Physics will always look better than Biology
They are both equal. Colleges really only care about the AP test score, not that you took the class. If you can get a 4-5 in one of them, than take that class.
