“Ucb, my response was after someone posted that AP stats would somehow put you ahead of the humanities competition from other top applicants. It’s the calc that will help. And the fact she has good ECs to back up her interest in poli sci or related.”
If you’re taking Stats taking as a sr, that would imply taking Calculus as a jr and would put you ahead of most non-stem applicants. If you did not take Calculus, then you’d be behind humanities majors, agree there. Calculus is the important course, any major, most selective schools, assuming high school offers it.
