<p>@aldfig0: Linear algebra is practically a prerequisite for even an introductory computational neuroscience class. Unless the OP is 100% sure he/she doesn’t want to take a class in computational neuroscience, linear algebra will be a huge plus. (Seriously, I enrolled in a computational neuroscience course and had to drop out because the linear algebra was too much.)</p>
<p>Additionally, multivariable calculus and linear algebra is far more demanding than AP Statistics, so the rigor will better prepare the OP for college-level work.</p>
<p>By the way, why do you want to study neuroscience at Claremont McKenna? AFAIK, that really isn’t one of their specialties.</p>
