Hi guys,
I’m going into my senior year, and I need to decide whether I will take AP stats or AP Euro.
I will be taking AP Lit, AP Calc BC, and AP Econ in addition to either AP Stats or Euro.
I’m applying to top schools, with Penn (Wharton) as my first choice. Please refer to my ‘chance me’ thread if you need more details to help you suggest a choice.
Take whichever one interests you more and/or has the better teacher. That decision is entirely yours.
Hi @skieurope thanks for the response!
If you are going to Wharton for business you better take AP Statistics. Much more applicable to your future job
@ftrclgestudent good point! Thanks
^Actually, AP stats is a watered down class (known as AP lite) that doesn’t match what you’d find at top colleges and certainly not at Wharton where calculus based statistics is expected. Statistics should be a required college class in my opinion but it should be taken onlyifou can’t handle calculus or want an 'easy’class to complete your schedule.
I’d choose AP Euro because it’s a stronger, ‘core’ AP as long as you think you can handle it.
I definitely think AP Euro is stronger, but AP Stat is more related to what you want to do. You need to pick the class you are more interested in.
