AP Lit vs AP Psychology

Hi ,

I heard that top ranked colleges prefer AP Lit over AP Psychology. I wanted get an advise.

Thanks.

@Abish Hmm It kinda depends on your career track. If you wanted to do something in humanities than do Lit but if you wanted to do something in medical or science Psych might be better. But I have never heard colleges having preferences of AP Lit. I think if career was undecided for you I would do AP lit so you can have an English AP.
