Taking AP Stats alone when you have the opportunity to take Calculus is probably not looked upon favorably by admissions officers, and is likely compounded in the event that a student wants to go into a STEM-related field.

However, if you are on the “standard” math track (where you aren’t able to take Calculus in HS anyway) and you are given permission to do so, I don’t see how taking AP Stats would be a problem, especially for students who are not STEM-oriented.
