<p>I am a rising senior and I suddenly got a free period because I dropped a world language (for an unfortunate reason) so I'm debating what class to take between AP Comp Sci and AP Stat.
I have a heavy workload with five other APs and I would like to have an easier class so I can maintain a good GPA.
For your information, I do not have any experience with computer programming but I am interested.</p>
<p>As long as you already have 4 years of math, take whichever one interests you the most.</p>
<p>Both are awesome classes. I’d just take whichever one has a better teacher.</p>
<p>I heard amazing things about my school’s AP Stat teacher but I heard my schools AP Comp Sci teacher doesnt really do much… So I guess in this case AP Stat would be better?</p>
<p>Besides the point, take as many AP as possible.</p>
<p>Anyways, whatever class that would pertain to the major that you are going to apply for will help more. I would strongly suggest AP Calculus/AP Stats because colleges love these core math classes (especially Calculus) and AP Comp Sci is considerably boring and tedious and doesn’t essentially help unless you apply for a major in a Computer type of field. So, in a nutshell, AP Stats. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Computer related field* would be a better way of saying that. But you understand what I mean</p>
<p>Yeah right! And I am taking AP Calc BC as well! For my major, I’m thinking about business and/or engineering so Statistics shouldn’t hurt right? 
Thank you for your advise!!</p>
<p>Both classes are great. Whichever you can learn the most from and which can help you in your future endeavors. Be ready to work though.</p>
<p>Engineering majors which require statistics usually require a calculus-based statistics course. AP statistics can be used as a gentle introduction to the subject. Engineering majors (other than computer engineering) typically have a MATLAB-using computing for engineering course, while computer engineering majors typically need introductory computer science courses, of which AP computer science may or may not apply to.</p>
<p>Business majors generally require statistics, although they may or may not accept AP statistics.</p>
<p>Thanks for your advises! I think I’m taking AP Stat since it is most likely to be helpful regardless of which major I end up choosing!</p>
