<p>Your GPA is very important, but you shouldn’t waste your tuition taking Calc I / Calc II. If you’re like me, you’ll probably slack off / not take them seriously anyways. </p>
<p>You shouldn’t do linear algebra unless you really want to - it’s useless for premeds. If you wanna learn it, just independently study it. </p>
<p>I advise either:
a) take Calc II or Calc I and then take Stats
b) Do multivariable and then stats. </p>
<p>It won’t matter much at the end. Plus, you can always learn multivariable / linear algebra by yourself at the end. Option a gives you the best GPA, while b) gives you a slightly better education maybe? But then again, MIT OCW is just as good.</p>
<p>@Izysaur: Wow thank you so much for taking out the time to write all that! And yes plant science is awesome. I’m thinking of doing what you’re doing and just go on to Calc II and III, that sounds like the better approach, though I still have to consider my options. I’m also taking AP Stat right now and like it well enough and of course I love bio so biostats sounds pretty interesting! </p>
<p>@Faustarp: Well I’m getting mostly A’s in Calc which I’m pretty happy with (especially since I do almost no work outside of class for it) and I just really like math! I honestly only wanna take the required humanities classes, I hate the humanities. All I want to take are math and science classes in college. It’ll probably wreck my GPA, or at least it won’t be as high as it could be if i did take some humanities, but I’d rather take harder classes that I’m interested in than easier ones that I’m not. Plus I plan to work really hard and study my you-know-what-CC-won’t-let-me-post off. But thank you for your input.</p>
