<p>This isn’t true…not everyone majoring in a social science takes Stat. But you can, as some social sciences recommend you take Stat (not all, though, and I can’t think of any that require it, although some may exist). That said, most non-science people I know end up taking Stat as one of their natural science classes - that’s what I did. :] As etselec said, the distribution requirements are not at all a big deal, and it’s really not something that people worry about often. I think what you describe as wanting definitely fits in with Swarthmore!</p>
