... what a heck? I want to do MATH on my math class, I don't need an additional english class!?!

(Oh, they eventually let me in Calc class after over nauseating 2 weeks of convincing. That school somehow underestimates internationals until they are proven wrong...)


In the end, if they're both APs, I guess it comes down to your preference. I don't think schools will look down on your choice of Stats unless, as stated above, you'll do physical sciences (which you won't).
