<p>You certainly don’t need to take the course for admission, but my point about handling rigor stands.</p>
<p>Thanks, guys.</p>
<p>So, I’m at:</p>
<p>AP Calc AB
AP Lit
AP Gov first semester
AP World</p>
<p>Honors Spanish 3 through FLVS
Maybe AP Art History through FLVS?</p>
<p>I am also in Academic Decathlon, which is a class, but I choose not to have it go on my transcript. If it is upgraded to a weighted class, then I will. But I kind of doubt it will be…</p>
<p>Should I take Honors Anatomy and Physiology at school, or will it look like a drop-off? Also, the second semester of AP Gov is Honors Econ… I’ve already taken both AP Econs through FLVS… Would it look weird if I took Honors Econ?</p>
<p>Not sure if it will be rigorous enough…</p>
<p>Take the most APs you can!</p>
<p>Both statistics and calculus are very important in the world of finance/economics. If you major in these, you will definitely take some statistics classes in college. If your school’s AP stat teacher really is that bad, then it really sucks because taking AP Stat can show how you’re interested in your proposed fields of study.</p>
<p>I strongly suggest that you take physics B. Its better to have a science, than not to. If you can handle AP Chem, you can handle physics B. I thnk Chem has more math than physics B. Plus, if your HYPS material, than you should be able to pull off at least a B. You should ask your counselor if she will mark off the “most rigorous” courseload box with your proposed schedule.</p>
<p>You plan on majoring in Econ or Finance and you’re not good at math?</p>
<p>^
Yeah. Is it that important?</p>
<p>I would take Stats. As long as your rank is still okay and you get a B, it won’t matter. I think what you’ve learned will be very useful though. I took Calc BC this year so stats wouldn’t fit in my schedule and I’m really starting to wish I’d taken Stat.</p>
<p>^
I’ll get a C.</p>
<p>Strong math is essential for econ and finance. Seriously, these disciplines are all about math. You can maybe skate a bit in econ, and dodge for awhile, but ultimately you’ll hit the math wall at any serious program.</p>
<p>You’d better love math if you want to major in econ or finance.</p>
<p>^
Even for undergraduate economics? I want to become an investment banker… Is that really as math-reliant as people say it is?</p>
<p>What’s a good job for someone interested in humanities and social science?</p>
