Im a sophmore and I realize if I wanna be an ir major it’s best to take a language every year but I personally really want to do AP stat and I dont have space for it unless I don’t take spanish for one year. Does taking stat over spanish look bad to SFS’s admissions? Would it be better to just self study stat considering it’s just a personal interest and not towards an ir major? I’m still planning to take IB spanish 4 next year but considering it’s not an HL I have the option to continue it senior year or not, would not continuing look bad even if I’m currently taking APUSH and will take IB World History HL and IB Religion? I’d love to get admitted into SFS so would this hinder that too much?
I would really talk to your GC and even your regional rep. with you questions. If you have a lame gc, just contact your rep. Good questions and sometimes they do care about such things.
My D was on a visit at a different school, and the admissions person said that they recommended AP Calc before AP Stat if offered at her school. She made a schedule change because of this! (She had Honora pre calc which was AB jr. year, so she thought she didn’t need AP Calc. But AP Calc is BC!)
What other math classes have you had or will you take? Are you in an IB diploma program? Without more information, I’d say wait and take stats in college.
