<p>Our high school's course selections are due on Friday of this week. I am trying to determine which class I should be taking in order to better prepare me for a major in the finance or economics field. Below is my schedule for two semesters - both in sophomore year.</p>

<p>Sem. 1
1) Enriched Print Media (equivalent to an English class)
2) Enriched Biology
3) Pre-Calc Honors
4) Spanish 3
5) ??? (AP Stats / Enriched Physics / AP Comp Sci A & AB / Accounting I)
6) ??? (AP Stats / Enriched Physics / AP Comp Sci A & AB)</p>

<p>Sem. 2
1) AP U.S. Gov & Politics
2) Enriched Biology
3) Pre-Calc Honors
4) Spanish 3
5) ??? (AP Stats / Enriched Physics / AP Comp Sci A & AB / Accounting I)
6) ??? (AP Stats / Enriched Physics / AP Comp Sci A & AB)</p>

<p>I'm trying to fill in the 5th and 6th slots in my schedule for both semesters. The choices I'm offered are in parenthesis.</p>

<p>Is AP Stats applicable to other classes? This is partly the reason I want to complete this class in grade 10, rather than in grade 11/12. Physics is there, so that I will have more options available to me during junior/senior year. Computer Science seems fun and supposedly teaches the fundamentals, but in any case, I still don't have much background knowledge. Accounting also seems fun, but I feel like I would be better off taking that type of class at a community college of some sort.</p>

<p>I know this post was long, really specific and is going to be ignored by most, but if you're still here, can you offer me some advice as to what classes I should pursue in my sophomore year? The classes I take in grades 11/12 will depend on my choices here and now, so this isn't something I want to blow off. I made that mistake once coming into freshman year.</p>

<p>personal opinion...unless ur super intent on taking it no reason to take another science becuz u already have bio....id go with AP Stats and AP Comp Sci</p>

<p>You're unlikely to apply your AP Stats knowledge to courses you take in grades 11 and 12, but you're significantly better off taking AP Stats concurrently with another math course (like you would be doing with Honors Pre-Calc) than to take it separately in its own year.</p>

<p>Calculus is just significantly harder if you take a year off for Stats (which is really a different animal mathematically than pre-calc or calc is) than it is if you don't.</p>
