<p>I was wondering, I have completed all the required math courses my school offers for graduation, and currently need to choose between Calculus or Probability and Statistics. When it comes to Calculus I currently have a C- and am not super motivated, however for Prob/Stat, I am motivated and perform well. I currently have an A in Prob/Stat. I am dropping one of the courses as I need more time to complete work for classes and could use the study hall.</p>
<p>I am looking at applying to University of Miami, Tulane, University of Florida, UNC Chapel Hill, Indiana Bloomington, Wisconsin, Penn State, and University of Oregon.</p>
<p>Calc is definitely the way to go for those schools, however, a C- is not. You might consider keeping Stats and the A unless you see a way to turn around the C- really fast. Top colleges want rigor, but they also want As or at least a B, the C- will hurt your case more than taking Stats instead.</p>
<p>Thank you. I’d also like to add that throughout my High School tenure, I’ve had an A- average in mathematics. With Calculus, I think it’ll be hard to raise my grade in the class and maintain an A- average, though I’d be fine with a B+ (but I also think that’ll be hard to obtain). My counselor is advising me to stay in Calculus, but I see Prob/Stat as the more business related class, as well as it being a class I am more motivated in and perform well in.</p>
