Which Looks Better--Calc, Stats, or Computer Science?

Sally - I have a question that is perhaps a slight variation on the official thread topic. My sophomore daughter is currently taking H Pre-Calc, and plans to take AP Calc AB and BC in 11th and 12 grades. However, she has no real interest in AP sciences, and opted this year to take Honors Bio (rather than AP)…which is plenty challenging, I might add. She plans to take Honors Chemistry in 11th and Honors Physics in 12th. I might add that the science courses at her school so far are unremarkable (based both on personal experience and stories from others). In addition to CALC AB and BC she will likely have three or four other AP’s in English, History, etc., which are of much more interest to her. Will she be disadvantaged by not taking AP sciences? Thanks for any insight you can offer.
