<p>So it’s my senior year and I’ve only gone up to Algebra 3 in math. Currently I have no math classes scheduled this year. I signed up for AP Stats when we did scheduling, but they couldn’t fit me in anywhere. I went down to check for openings next semester today and found that there was an opening in 1st period, which is when I have AP US History.</p>
<p>I was really looking forward to taking AP US History because I have an interest in the subject. My interest in AP Stats isn’t nearly as great.</p>
<p>Will it drastically affect my acceptance decisions if I take US History instead of Stats?</p>
<p>Stick with US no matter what. It is def one of the most gearing and challenging courses a high school can offer and yes, it is interesting.
Remember, school and life as a whole loses meaning when you do not enjoy it. Colleges will see you as who you are on your transcript, not as someone who abides by the conformity of society and does what everyone else is expected to do.
As for math, I’m seriously confused. Alg 3? Never heard of that to be honest…not even offered at my school. I’d do anything to get into Pre-Calc though because no offense, you’re behind a year in your subjects. These are junior year classes so talk to your counselors and be persistent. No is not an answer.</p>
<p>Algebra 3 is senior math for students receiving my school’s middle level diploma. For those receiving honors, they have to take Pre-Cal and Cal 1 or AP Stats in addition to that. And I’m not actually “behind” in anything but math. I’ve just taken classes in a different order than others. </p>
<p>All my other classes meet the honors requirements, with social studies being in excess of them at the expense of math, so I’m not in huge trouble or anything.</p>
<p>Do colleges consider AP Stats to be a real math class? Or would they just look at it as a cop-out to get out of Pre-Cal? If so, I’d be just as well off with US History.</p>
<p>PS. US History ended up being in my senior year because instead of doing US History or European History, I took Accel. World Civ (pretty much European History) my sophomore year, Accel. US History my junior year, and I’m hopefully taking the AP classes of both this year.</p>
