I took Algebra, Honors Geometry and Honors Advanced Algebra Trigonometry my Freshman, Sophomore and Junior year.
I originally wasn’t intending on taking another math class my senior year since I’ve already completed the math graduation requirements.
I plan on double majoring in Philosophy and History or Political Science and Economics.
Would it be beneficial to take another math class my senior year? If so, should I take pre-calc or statistics?
Also would like to mention I’m taking both AP Micro/Macroeconomics my junior year. Would it be beneficial to take AP Stats the same time or better take it my senior year?
If you are considering majoring in economics, take precalculus.
In many colleges, economics majors will have to take both calculus and statistics (and some require calculus-based statistics that AP statistics will not substitute for). So you need to be ready for calculus in college. In addition, if you want to go on to PhD study in economics or attend some specific colleges (e.g. Chicago, MIT, Stanford), you will want to take more advanced math and statistics courses than single variable calculus.
If you are considering majoring in philosophy, more math practice is better because philosophy majors will need strong logic skills. Mathematical proof practice would be optimal for this purpose, but this is uncommon in high school except possibly in geometry.
Even though your school may only ask for 3 years of math for a diploma many colleges will want 4 years and many students will have that. I recommend taking math senior year. I would email guidance and see which one they recommend for you.
So you’re a rising senior or a rising junior. Your two posts are confusing.
What colleges?
What’s your current GPA? hat colleges are you aiming for?
hat other APs have you taken?
If you’re considering economics, math will be essential, so take Precalculus (honors). If history, political science, or Philosophy, take AP Statistics.
Colleges will expect 4 years of math.
