This is kind of like the other thread

I’m a sophomore in high school and I have to decide my schedule for my junior year. This year I am taking Honors Alegbra 2 and I’m undecided on what to take next year. I have to decide between Honors Pre-Calculus and Statistics AP. I would rather take Stats, but I’m afraid colleges will not look favorably on the fact I didn’t go the calculus route and it will affect my admission chances.

I want to apply to USC, NYU, University of Miami, and University of Chicago. Also, I want to have a career in law so, to be honest, calculus is kind of pointless for me. Plus, I’ve never been a super genius at math so those are reasons I want to take Statis AP.

So is taking calculus better for college?

My schedule for next year already include AP English, AP Biology, AP Psychology, and AP US History.
