Should I take AP Stats?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>So next year, I'm going to be a senior and I plan on majoring on business in college. So far my classes I signed up for and want to keep are:</p>

<p>AP Gov
AP Lit
AP Psych
Journalism
AP Biology/Physics (going to choose one)</p>

<p>So I'm stuck between choosing AP Env. Science, AP Stats, or AP Comp Sci.</p>

<p>As I will be majoring in business, I know stats is the more logical choice, but I also heard that it's not a class that is really useful? Or it's for students who want to get out of calc? (I already took calculus btw). </p>

<p>So should I take AP Stats? </p>

<p>Another option is to take both AP Bio and AP Physics, but I know that that will be a lot more work (which I am up to, however) and if I'm majoring in business, would that be unnecessary?</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>I am inclined to suggest you take BC before Stats.</p>

<p>Stat is interesting, and I would choose it over APES or Comp Sci, but it’s not like its going to give you a huge leg up in business</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>any more opinions?</p>

<p>Statistics is critical in many disciplines – including business and marketing. Someone knowledgeable in these disciplines can quickly give you many examples of where it applies. Given your eventual career focus it’s a better choice than Computer Science.</p>

<p>Have you taken BC? You should take another math course (versus math elective like Stats) even if you’ve already taken AB, assuming your school offers it.</p>

<p>I’d recommend taking Stats, especially given your career direction.</p>
