Remember, Noam Chomsky worked(s) at MIT. Kofi Annan is a grad (of the Sloan School, granted). Anyone who says that English, history, and foreign languages are “ignored” for admissions at MIT are blatantly misrepresenting the situation. While a good focus on math and the sciences is recommended, a well rounded education is recommended as well. If you feel that you can get an A (or even a B) in AP French, you should do it. You will be able to test out of foreign lang requirements at most colleges (should you not go to MIT) and increase your chances of admissions at other colleges besides MIT. Taking US History instead of English may be warranted, but I would counsel French over stats (especially given that stat is a “baby” AP anyway).
