<p>I'm not that great of a math student, but I'm pretty sure I can get an A in both. I'm sure that they are as hard or easier than Math Analysis. My question is not whether I can get the better grade in them, but which one is looked upon more highly by colleges. Can you guys give your opinions (I'm looking towards the top tier, specifically UCLA, UC Berkeley, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and to a lesser extent, OxyU)?</p>
<p>Which one do you think you’ll like better? Stats is a bunch of annoying writing and using your calculator. CS is straight-up programming. Just choose one (with a coin flip if necessary) and if you care enough, self-study the other.</p>
<p>Well both would basically be college fodder with me; AP Comp Sci is probably more useful. But I’m more concerned at how colleges will look at it (I’ll be a senior when taking it) than the actual subject. Both shouldn’t be too hard to get an A in.</p>
<p>you’re not that great at math, but you’ve done analysis? in high school? ***amireading.jpg</p>
<p>Difficult to say. But CS is a much more interesting topic and less common than taking a stats class. Do AP CS. It was one of my favourite classes in high school. And even a superficial understanding of programming will help you out so much later in life.</p>

<p>“Math Analysis” = Precalculus</p>
<p>As for the OP’s question, I would guess that CS is more impressive because it’s less common. At the very least, I don’t think that Statistics would be more impressive to colleges. In terms of which is more useful, which I think is the much more important question here, it depends on what major you’re going into. Basically, statistics is more important for humanities, social science and statistics majors. Programming is more useful for math, physics and computer science. For most others it’s a wash.</p>
