The first day of stats is completely worthless BS…it gets a lot better as the year goes on. And even though you have to do a ton of writing in stats, it’s really helpful for being able to prove, for example, that experimental data actually fits a model. And the probability part even helps you create models sometimes. I have a friend who was coauthored in the journal Science just because of her knowledge of elementary, high-school level statistics.

But yeah, if you think it’s too boring, don’t take it.
