AP Bio: Is AP Stats or AP Calc more useful?

Applying to College
1

Hi everyone! Rising senior here.

I want to take AP Bio this coming school year, and I have a jam-packed schedule of other AP’s (Music Theory, Gov/Econ, Lit, etc.) and I was wondering whether AP Stats or AP Calc is more useful for the class (or if it matters at all!) I’m leaning towards Stats, because the calc teacher’s class management is somewhat hard to deal with, and because Stats is supposed to be a less rigorous class.

Advice?

There’s some basic stats taught in Bio, but you don’t really need either math course for AP Bio. Both could have applications if you go further in biology.

Okay, thank you!

^ assuming your taking the science route
You primarily use stats in AP Bio. However, the stats you learn it’s relatively basic.
