<p>I need to decide on a Math Class for my Senior year. I can choose between AP Stat, or AP Calc AB. My counselor keeps telling me to pick Stat, considering I want to become an econ major, but I'm not sure. Would colleges look down on not taking AP Calc?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>no. you'll still need to take it in college.</p>
<p>i'd actually take AP Calc. then you can focus on stats & econ stuff in college.</p>
<p>Stat seems to be more helpful for Econ. You might want to go that route.</p>
<p>However, Calculus may look more impressive on your application. I'd take both at the same time if possible.</p>
<p>calc, you'll always have to learn calculus in college no matter what you do, while if for some reason you decide to change your major you may not be needing stat anymore</p>
<p>probably take AP Calc and try to take AP Stat @ the same time or even consider self-studying it</p>
<p>ya if you can't take them both at the same time, take AP stats and calc 1 at a cc and then you get college credit.</p>
<p>Take both at the same time if you can. AP Stats is considered an elective at my school and alot of students take precalc/stats or calc/stats at the same time.</p>
<p>Well my schedule Isn't going to allow for both so I guess I'll be taking Calc. Do you guys think It might be a good idea to take Stat at a local community college instead?</p>
<p>yeah take it there</p>
<p>Take AP Calc. AP Stats is a joke, and can be self-studied in a weekend. AP Calc is a joke too, but AP Stats is more so.</p>
<p>Plus AP Calc opens more doors.</p>
<p>Actually, AP Calc is more helpful in understanding econ. For example, P=MC...</p>
<p>take ap calc. ap stat is a joke of a class compared to ap calc.</p>
