Which math class should I take in my senior year?

Hi all, I'm currently a junior and taking pre-calculus. I'm not sure which math class I should take next year. What do you recommend I take during senior year, especially considering its relevance to college applications and preparing for a potential major in Economics or Computer Science? Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello! It's great to hear that you're already planning ahead for your senior year. Given your interest in Economics and Computer Science, both of which are math-intense majors, I recommend taking the highest level of math available to you. This could be AP Calculus AB or BC, or even AP Statistics if you've already completed Calculus. If AP classes are not available, then look for honors or dual enrollment courses that can provide a strong foundation in mathematical concepts. Colleges like to see students challenge themselves, especially in subjects relevant to their intended major. Taking advanced coursework in math will not only look impressive on your applications but will also equip you with the kind of analytical and quantitative skills you'd need in both Economics and Computer Science. Just make sure you choose a class that is appropriately challenging without overwhelming you. It is equally important to maintain a strong GPA as it is to take rigorous courses. Best of luck in your senior year!
