Hi,
I’m picking courses and have the choice between AP Stat and AP Econ. I’m already taking a non-AP honors math. I heard that colleges don’t consider AP Stat as a “true” AP, so I was considering AP Econ. The only problem is, one of the 2 teachers is TERRIBLE. She’s not very hard, but does not teach and students have to learn from the textbook on their own. Do I take the chance with AP Econ? And which one looks better on an application? I feel I can handle both of them and get good grades.

P.S.
If it matters, I will be a junior next year and I currently have a 4.4 weighted GPA.

Thanks!!!
