<p>i'm currently in alg 2 as a junior
i hate math and i do not plan to use it in college (international relations & russian)
should i take ap stat or pre-calc next yr
i called uva admissions and they said in their eyes these "classes are equally rigorous"
i cannot take pre-calc and ap stat. i have a full schedule (see below)</p>
<p>i have also not yet taken physics, ap or regular. is this class necessary? i'm not a math or science person and i know what i want my major to be, but at the same time i do not want to be discounted at top universities for not having 2 biggies: calc and physics.
i have expanded outside of my school's curriculum by taking 2 online AP social studies courses to demonstrate my interest in international relations..</p>
<p>ap chem (2 pds)
ap spanish
ap gov
ap human geography
ap lit
(ap stat or pre-calc)
dual personal finance *grad requirement</p>
<p>what should i do?</p>
<p>I would say again… look at major requirements.</p>
<p>Especially at UVA.</p>
<p>But I doubt you’ll need to take much math.</p>
<p>I’m just gonna say this…</p>
<p>No specific major that says international relations on UVa site.
and Russian is Slavic Language and Literature.</p>
<p>Statistics is a more common and everyday math that even non math and science majors need more than pre calc</p>
<p>i was just generalizing MIT, because i am not only applying to UVa</p>
<p>CPUscientist3000 thanks for your input and i agree</p>
<p>Well… I always start off from the school I would want to go to most.</p>
<p>Then other things tend to be similar.</p>
<p>It doesn’t look like much math is needed for either.</p>
<p>If anything… a more econ principles would go along…</p>
<p>I would say AP Stats is more useful as well.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say AP Physics is necessary at all if you’re not going to be majoring in science. And, I agree with everyone else, AP Stat seems the better route.</p>
<p>still check the requirements for all of your prospective schools, it could be different.</p>
