<p>It looks like you’ve taken/plan to take a lot of honors and AP classes. This shows top colleges and universities that you are willing to tackle a challenging course load. What are you planning on studying in college? This may help you decide what class you should take. Personally I would take statistics over environmental science, unless you were planning on going into ecohydrology or something.</p>

<p>Everyone at my school loves APES, but they say that Stats sucks. Depends how they are at your school. Stats is probably more useful. Haven’t had the chance to take either yet. This courseload seems fine. Your grades are really good, too.</p>

<p>I would take Stats over Enviro, but I’d take Psych over Stats probably, since you mentioned that as an option too.</p>
