AP Computer Science A vs. AP Statistics

<p>I have room in my schedule for one elective, and I keep wavering between AP Comp Sci and AP Statistics. I am interested in a career in Political Science, so Stats would be a more practical choice. I do, however, have a little background in coding, and I feel that Comp Sci might look different on an application considering I am a female. What do you think?</p>

<p>Brief stats:
GPA: 4.3 (I am a sophomore and took AP World and AP Psych this year.)
PSAT/PLAN test results: Overwhelmingly higher in Critical Reading and Writing
Previous math experience: Honors Algebra II/Trig, Honors Geometry (fairly successful in both), Precalc next year.</p>

<p>Let me know if I can provide any other information, and thank you!</p>
