<p>Without going too much into detail, I've never liked math. Nor have I ever been good at it. Here's a quick rundown:</p>
<p>9th grade: Algebra 2 (ended with a B)
10th grade: Pre-Calc (ended with a C)
11th grade: Calc BC (going to end with a C)</p>
<p>With senior year coming up, and course selections due soon, I'm tempted to omit math.</p>
<p>From what I've been reading here about other rising seniors, you shouldn't omit math senior year. And I get that. Except in my case, I've never actually gotten an A in math, so does neglecting it senior year really have a big impact on me in terms of college admissions? Viewing my transcript, it's pretty evident that I'm not gifted in math, and taking a math class senior year isn't going to change that.</p>
<p>I plan on majoring in business. Hopeful colleges are UGA, Georgia Tech, and a ten or so prestigious colleges I'll apply to (ex. Vanderbilt, Northwestern, etc.).</p>
<p>My counselor told me to not leave out math senior year since it looks bad for Georgia Tech since they're apparently picky about that. But, from personal experience, I don't think it'll have too noticeable an impact on me. My sister landed a B in Algebra 2, B in PreCalc, and just didn't bother taking math further than that. She still got into Northwestern regardless.</p>
<p>And other classes (AP or not) are A's, and always have been A's.</p>
<p>Any insight would be appreciated. I really don't want to suffer with math senior year.</p>
<p>Does your school offer statistics? I know that at my school, stats is sometimes taken for an easier, less math-intensive senior year. (I’m taking it concurrently with calc though.)</p>
<p>My school does offer AP Stats. Just that, from my experience so far, my other classes struggle since doing math homework/studying just ends up taking a lot of time and stress for me. It’d be great to take a bunch of non-math APs and be able to study them as much as I please for once.</p>
<p>If you’re thinking about going into business then I strongly suggest that you take a math course senior year. From what I’ve heard, stats is an math and AP course. I agree with your counselor, stick with math. I wouldn’t say that just because your sister didn’t take math senior and got into a prestige college as an excuse for you not to. Take an easier math course or get extra help if you’re struggling in the more advanced math classes.</p>
<p>I think you should take stats then! When majoring in business, you won’t be able to just not take math :(</p>
<p>I fully understand that I won’t be able to avoid math in college. I plan on taking whatever is necessary once I get into college itself, lol.</p>
<p>I just really want to take a bunch of other APs that I have genuine interest in, and <em>not</em> be chugged down by my AP math class, be it AP Stats or not.</p>
<p>But since we’re talking of AP Stats, how is the class anyway? I know it has little to no connection to Calculus, but at this point, I’m ambivalent about taking anything math-related at all, rofl.</p>
<p>If you make it to Calculus BC before your senior year, it’s probably fine not to take math senior year. AP Stats would be a good option, though.</p>
<p>Why are you two years ahead in math if you don’t like it and aren’t good at it?</p>
<p>I’ve never liked math, but it was one of those “I hate it, but I don’t suck at it” classes up to middle school. I maintained an A in all my math classes until Algebra II in 9th grade.</p>
<p>And I suppose “not good” is relative. Certainly, being in Calc BC itself means I’m ahead of most people in the subject. It’s just that once I got ahead, I just failed to keep up.</p>
<p>A mixture of dislike for the subject, wrongly prioritizing all other subjects over math, and just demotivation for math in general (due to disliking it) resulted in this mediocre math transcript.</p>
