[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD wants ENSP majors to attempt to take through Calc II (BC) before entering a specific major. If you can't do that much, some majors in ENSP are not available you.

However, it is a utility course, not the pride and joy of ENSP.

You should choose a high school course that makes you comfortable progressing toward that goal. Since you'll want to take Stats with Calculus in college anyway also, AP Stats and Calc with Applications are both "half steps" that will help you prepare for college.
Calc AB is a full step and Calc BC is a double step that will make progress toward your degree before you enter, and free up time for more classes you care about.

The simplified progression is Calc AB / 1, Stats with Calculus, Calculus BC 2.
AP Stats and Calc with Applications are both preparatory high school "plus a half" head start on college classes.

You have to decide how much preparation you need to succeed. I do not recommend AP Stats (unless you take it as an elective in addition to Calculus) because Calc I will be harder than Calc AB, because it goes faster, and you will have a year doing  no precalc or calc. Calc with Applications will be like half of Calc I, so will help you prepare.
