<p>AP Psych is an easy 5 I would drop stat. Take BC Calc if you can handle it</p>

<p>why drop stats? I might want to do math in college…
Do you recommend I take world instead of psych then? but if i take world i have to take an honors middle east pre-requisite course</p>

<p>Stats isn’t REAL math…you do more reading and writing than math in that class. </p>

<p>I’m not sure what to tell you about World.</p>

<p>Since you are interested in Chinese, a great – FREE – two-week summer program is Startalk Chinese at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. Application period ends April 25 this year. A neighbor went there last year and loved the program and Furman. There are other Startalk locations and summer programs for other critical languages.
