I am a rising senior and am conflicted as to whether I should take AP Calc or AP Stats for my math course. The classes that I will be taking alongside this class will be the following: AP Chemistry, AP US Gov, AP Capstone: Research, Biomedical Innovations (a 4-year class I took since freshmen year), and dual enrollment for English. I would say that I am pretty good at math and have gotten all A’s in the math classes that I have taken since middle school (Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Pre-calculus).
I am planning on applying to very competitive schools with admission rates ranging from 6%-24%. I am also planning to major in Neuroscience while taking a minor in Psychology for colleges that offer it. My target college only requires Statistics for its neuroscience major, other colleges on my college list do require both Calculus AND Statistics, and others require EITHER Calculus or Statistics.
Given all this information and these circumstances, is it better for me to take AP Calculus or AP Statistics (college admission wise and college ready wise)?
