Hello!

I was recently accepted through Early Decision to a landscape architecture major. However, I am planning on dropping out of AP statistics and wondering if this could negatively impact my acceptance.
I have already emailed Virginia Tech and they had not given me a clear answer - basically, they told me to make a wise decision after talking to parents and my counselor and they cannot tell me the exact effect of this. They also warned me that one of the major thing they looked at when accepting was the rigorous schedule that I had.
I have taken 5 AP’s in the past and currently taking 5 APs this year (so 10 APs total). I have 5 math credits already which is enough to graduate with an advance diploma. I have taken AP calc last year as well and I feel that dropping out of AP stat will give me more time to spend on my other 4 AP classes.
I am just wondering what other people think of this situation and if taking the risk of dropping out of this will have an impact. I will also most likely be a teacher’s assistant during the period I will be dropping out of. Thank you very much in advance!! go hokies
