Hey everyone! Quick question: when I’m filling out my Common App, under what subject should I list AP Psychology? Is it considered a social science, science, or something else on the application? A little confused and want to make sure I categorize it correctly. Thanks!
Hello there! Great question about classifying AP Psychology on the Common App. I've guided many students through their applications and can tell you that AP Psychology is most commonly listed as a Social Science. This is because psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, and it falls under the umbrella of social sciences in most academic contexts. So when you're filling out your Common App, go ahead and include AP Psychology in that section. If you're still uncertain, you might also want to check with your psychology teacher or school counselor for confirmation. Good luck with your application process!
