My school wouldn’t place me into AP Economics for next year (senior year) because I currently have a B in my AP American History class, and you need an A to continue with AP. So they’re putting me into regular economics. My problem? I’ve never been in a “regular” (ie unweighted) class.

Should I talk to the department and do all that I can to take the course? AP Econ is one of the hardest classes at my school, but I’m afraid going into a regular class after having taken AP social studies courses for two years will look terrible on college apps. Plus, I wanna major in math (A+ in AP Calculus right now), and from what I’ve heard econ is kinda related to math…

What should I do?
