I asked a few months ago about AP Calc AB vs. AP Stats and you all were very helpful. She’s now in the process of choosing her senior year classes and asked me to come back here and again prevail upon the communal CC wisdom:
She doesn’t think she can take AP Calc AB (which was the general consensus here) because she’s been in college prep math all these years (she’s received As and A pluses, but she still doesn’t think she can be placed in it.)
Her choices then become Calc Honors or AP Stats. She’s torn between wondering if the AP means more or Calc means more. Thoughts?
If you weren’t involved in my previous thread: she’s a junior at a very competitive, large, northeastern public school. She has a 4.286 unweighted GPA (A pluses count as 4.5) and a weighted around 4.7; and a PSAT score of 1430. She’s looking at schools like Vassar, Tufts, Wesleyan. She took one AP as a sophomore, is taking 3 now (and getting As and A pluses), is taking Pre-Calc now (has an A plus) and was hoping to take 5 next year, but I don’t want her to take AP Stats just because it’s an AP. I want her take what she’s interested in but also what schools would like to see.
Thanks for any advice.
