[quote=Anonymous]+1 to the first response and particularly to stats; there may not be particular cause for taking it in college, so assuming one gets a better stats teacher there may not be prudent.  Stats has much greater applicability in real life, and there's more likely college credit available via AP.

MVC/LA/DiffEq might be better if going into serious STEM, however (despite there not being an AP test/credit pathway -- arrangement for placing out of any requirement would have to be made individually with whichever college is attended/whichever department for which one pursues a major).  The concern about continuity to MVC from Calc shouldn't be underestimated if this is the planned path.

As for LA vs. MVC, a typical college math path would have the latter follow the former.  If more interested in LA, particularly more interested than in Stats, and not planning on further Math in higher ed, then taking LA can make sense.  Don't do it for status, though.  At this point, that's just pressure for no reason -- college admissions offices really wouldn't make any rank ordering based on LA vs. AP Stats unless [b]maybe[/b] considering a candidate for a Mathmatics major or a Math-specific honors program.[/quote]
