How is the AP Statistics class? Does that involve a lot of word problems which I am not good at (I am good at computational
Math, but struggle on word problem due to comprehension issue)?. I took AP Calc AB in my junior year and barely passed it. I plan to do CS Engineering for undergrad. Are the colleges going to look for Calc BC in high school year which I will miss if I go with AP Statistics? Please advise. Thanks!
Colleges typically wouldn’t make a big deal out of your taking of AP Stats over BC. Many people get into highly selective colleges with just taking AB! I would say take the class you think you’ll do the best in! It wouldn’t be worth it to take Calc BC if you think it’ll be just as hard, if not harder than AB.
I’m more concerned with your comment about barely passing AB Calc. That’s going to be a big red flag for any college of engineering. Do you know why you struggled? Is the grade low enough to retake the course?
