<p>I'm currently a junior and an incoming senior for next year. I got in to 4 AP classes which are: AP government, AP statistics, AP calculus, and AP studio art, but there's a possibility that I can't take all of them because I still have to take spanish, physics, and a vocational course which is required in our school. I will accept and take the AP government, but if ever I were to choose between the three other AP's, is it better to take both AP statistics and AP calculus or will I just drop AP statistics and take both AP calculus and AP studio art?</p>
<p>What are your possible majors in college? If undecided, are you likely to choose something from the humanities, social studies (or business), or sciences (or engineering)?</p>
<p>Calculus will be more useful if you need to take more advanced math or statistics courses in college (as needed for majoring in science, engineering, some of the social studies, and business). Statistics will be more useful for general knowledge if you never take another math or statistics course again. Calculus (especially if it is BC) may be considered more rigorous than statistics by some admissions committees.</p>
<p>If you have colleges in mind, you may want to check what AP scores they accept. Calculus is probably the most widely accepted for credit and advanced placement of the four you list.</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice. I’m not yet sure if I will major in business or science(medicine). But is it true that prestigious colleges look if a student took rigorous courses or do they look if a student took variety of courses such as AP arts? If that is so, is taking AP arts and AP calculus show the colleges the creative side of a student as well as his ability and dedication by taking a rigorous course such as an advanced math?</p>
