My S's calc teacher (S took BC) also noted that AP Stats is rather a waste for a student with decent math skills. It's not that taking Stats is a bad idea, it's just more likely that the version of it in college will be better.
So, my junior S is taking an on line class in linear algebra, to go along with his AP Physics C and other classes. We'll face the same issue next year. He went to a language immersion elementary school and so took AP Spanish Language as a sophomore and got a 5. He's not taking AP Spanish Literature this year due to the need to fit in a visual/performing arts class (photography) this year to meet the UC requirements. And now he's thinking he doesn't want to take AP English Lit AND AP Spanish Lit next year. Sooo ... who knows what will happen? Maybe he'll do AP Chem and AP bio the same year, along with his on line class in multivariable calc.
It's pretty clear at this point that his interests and skills fall into the math/science arena.
