Calc III/Diff Eq H vs. AP Stat

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I don't need to worry about this for a while, but I'm just wondering which one looks better for colleges. I mean even though AP Stat has the AP attached, it doesn't really look that impressive does it? I've heard some people question as to why its an AP because its so easy. Anybody know which one looks better towards colleges?</p>

<p>Of course Diff Eq H..and then Calc III..but if you want the GPA boost/AP credit go for AP Stats.</p>

<p>i chose to take diff eq in my senior year instead of stats
it does look better for colleges, and it didn't affect my final weighted GPA so it was chill
but then also I know that I'm going to have to take it in college, so now ill have an advantage!!!!!! <3</p>

<p>Ew don't take stats.</p>

<p>take both...but if you only want one, go with diff eq's/multivariable calc. it's better, trust me. stat's is slow and boring. once a month you do something interesting for like 20 mins, but then you do nothing good for the other classes.</p>

<p>Wait till your grades hold up... and then you can "agonize" which college-level mathematics class looks "better" for colleges. </p>

<p>A lot of the time, people slip up on the way and invariably spend their time wishing that their state school would accept them...</p>

<p>Are you kidding me?</p>

<p>hmm super tough decision a joke piece of crap class or a real class... hmmm</p>

<p>AP Stat can be a decent class depending on how it is taught. It's possible to come up with really tricky and abstract probability problems, although some of the topics are boring.</p>

<p>i'm taking both
ap stats is pretty much the most boring class ever
calc 3 kinda sucks too cuz you gotta pay attention, but at least it's interesting
strangely the same teacher teachers both classes
your call :P</p>

<p>I find that stats is extremely interesting whereas calculus is boooooring. Like, bring a pillow to class boring.</p>

<p>View it this way, you can use stats in real life much more often than you can use calculus...</p>

<p>AP Stats is of course much easier, dont you think colleges know that ;)</p>
