<p>Hi CC,
I was addressing my concerns with AP Statistics. In my school, and maybe in all other schools, AP Stat is considered one of the easiest AP courses available. I know prestigious colleges like Princeton and Penn look at the course load and difficulty. Would they shun the fact that I don’t take AP Stat? Or would this be detrimental to my acceptance?
To give you a general look at my planned schedule:</p>
<p>Currently a Sophomore:
Taking (1) AP, AP World History
5 Honors Classes:
Latin III, Pre-Calc, Biology, Chemistry, English</p>
<p>Planning to take as a Junior:
(5) APs
-Euro/USH, not sure yet
-Latin IV (Vergil, I believe)
-Calculus AB
-Chemistry
-English
(1) Honors
-Physics</p>
<p>Planning to take as a Senior:
(6) APs
-US Gov
-Biology
-Physics (Kind of scared for this one)
-Literature
-Calc BC
-Latin V (Not sure if this is Vergil too)</p>
<p>Senior year does not allow me to take AP Stat as I only have a limited number of periods in a cycle. Also, should I take AP Chemistry first or AP Biology?</p>
<p>AP Statistics won’t make or break your application. As for AP Chem or AP Bio first, you’re taking regular Chem and Bio this year; see how it goes and decide on the AP order after this year.</p>
<p>You’re taking a very rigorous load. You’ve exhausted the AP Calc’s. I would not worry!</p>
<p>As an aside, I don’t think Princeton gives direct credit for AP Stat (it might, in conjunction with other APs [maybe econ] allow you to be placed into certain otherwise limited econ courses).</p>
<p>There’s really no restrictions, to be honest. I think if you want to take the class the school cannot legally stop you; you have to ‘challenge’ into the class. The only caveat is that you can’t drop the class if you think it’s too hard.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s a <em>very</em> easy schedule. haha just messing I will throw it out there at AP biology is a monster, it is easily my hardest class</p>
