Help!!!

Okay so I have one week to finalize my schedule for senior year! My selections are:
AP Calc AB?? or AP Stat??
AP Bio
AP Lit
AP Gopo
AP Physics
AP Psych
Honors Civics and Economics
Honors French IV

I am fairly certain that I want to work in the medical field, so should I take calculus or stat?? I used to be great at math, but lately in precalc I haven’t been doing so hot… :frowning: So what do you guys recommend??

I’d say go with AP Calc. Although I understand your concern with doing well in the class, I think that AP Calc (whether it’s AB or BC) is much more helpful than AP Stats. I think that Calc is a class that colleges want to see on their applicants transcripts, also.

*edit: although I have to say that your schedule is pretty rigorous regardless of which you choose. You really need to assess your situation in math right now - ex. think about how much time you spend right now on math, and how much time you may need to spend next year in addition to work from all of the other classes. Good luck!

Honestly, your schedule is SO rigorous that I don’t think it will make a difference which math class you take. I mean 6 APs is impressive, regardless of if you choose between AP Stat and AP Calc. Honestly, for the most part, I hear that AP Stat is a lot more helpful in life than AP Calc. Like people actually use concepts in AP Stat wayyy more than AP Calc. AP Stat is definitely easier, so if you’re not doing great in precalc, I would recommend that. An A or B in AP Stat is better than a C in AP Calc.

Thank you both! @noemii @jakejake637 You were both very helpful and I think I’ll just study my butt off and stick with AP Calc :wink:
