<p>Okay, so my junior year I’m taking honors chem, APUSH, AP Lang, precalc, and AP Spanish…
But I can’t decide if it would be better to take French 3, AP Stats, anatomy, or college algebra…
Which do you think would be most beneficial on a college application?</p>
<p>College algebra is before Pre-Calc, and you don’t want to actually go back a math class so I would say AP Stats because with language classes, I’m pretty sure that after a certain extent, colleges view enough as enough… like if you take AP Spanish, that’s already enough. There really isn’t any need to actually do a third language. Even in the real world, unless you’re considering on moving to some other country, stats is so much more useful in real life, and if you have the college credit for that, you can save yourself some time by not taking stats in college.
Actually, if you’re planning on getting a medical degree, I think you should do some high school courses on the medical field so if you want to get a medical degree, anatomy would be better than stats, I think, because it shows the colleges that you have a lean towards this field of study.</p>
<p>I’ve been taking 3 languages every year. colleges love it.</p>
<p>Semaphore… I did not know that college algebra was before precalc. Blonde moment…
EDCornell2013… I figured they did and I love languages! I just don’t know if it’s more important that I catch up to more prestigious students in math. At my high school, an “accelerated” math student takes honors algebra 1/2 as a freshman, honors geometry/trig as a sophomore, and precalc as a junior. She then takes AP stats or AP calc AB as a senior…so I’m kind of unsure.</p>
