So this was my math schedule these three years–
9: Pre-calc
10: Calc BC
11: Multi
Do you think it’s better to take AP Stat Senior year or take Linear Algebra? Or both?
Thanks!
Having taken multivariable calc, AP stats may bore you.
If you wanna learn some statistics and probability, I recommend this book:

Linear algebra is cool and handy, although you may have to retake it in college if the credits don’t transfer.
I feel like Stat is an important subject though. Not sure. I’m interested in majoring in CS or Physics or some STEM field. I feel like that Stat is basic enough that I should have taken it… but then again, I want to continue with Linear Algebra.
How much would it hurt if I don’t take Stat? And should I take both or is that too much, esp w/ college apps?
Thanks!
Linear algebra. It would be better (and you may be required) to take calculus-based statistics once you get to college. You could take both if you want, though.
Not at all. As @halcyonheather stated, you’re better off taking a calculus based stats class in college, so another vote for Linear Algebra.
Thank you guys so much! This has really helped. I think I’ll definitely lean towards Linear Algebra, and depending on my schedule, maybe fit Stat if I can. I have a surprising amount of free space for my senior year schedule, so it should be good. Thanks again!
Given this math progression I would say Linear Algebra…but is Differential Equations available? THat is what I took as an engineer after Multi-variable.
Look at colleges of interest and see what the 4th class in the calculus progression is for engineers.
Linear Algebra was usually taken by people going to grad school.
Having taken AP Statistics in high school, I will say AP Statistics is something you will not have to take. You can carry on completely fine without taking it. Just go with Linear Algebra.
Linear Algebra.
You’ll need to take calculus-based Statistics in college, which AP Stats isn’t.
