AP Statistics

AP Statistics is the high school equivalent of an introductory college statistics course. In AP Statistics, we will focus on four major themes: exploratory data analysis, designing studies, probability models and simulation, and statistical inference. In essence, students develop strategies for collecting, organizing, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. Students design, administer, and tabulate results from surveys and experiments.

Probability and simulations aid students in constructing models for chance phenomena. Sampling distributions provide the logical structure for confidence intervals and hypothesis tests. Students might use a TI-83 graphing calculator, statistical software (Minitab), and Web-based java applets and activities to investigate statistical concepts. To develop effective statistical communication skills, students are required to prepare frequent written and oral analyses of real data.

How Does Getting Ahead in Math Help College Admissions for STEM Majors?

What are the general math requirements for college admissions?

Both UC and CSU require 3 years of math in high school and recommend 4. Algebra I and Geometry are required. Most college majors today require advanced math skill from pre-calculus to calculus. There are other math requirements depending on the nature of the college major. Since 2021, UC expand its math category in A-G to include other math such as, computer and data sciences. Math requirements for UC and CA State University fulfil math requirements in most other states.

Does meeting the general math requirements qualify me to admissions to a major in STEM?

General math requirements in most high school prepare students for a high school diploma. In other words, the general math requirements are for high school graduation. Most majors in STEM are impacted in colleges. They require more advanced math skills than taught in high schools. The advanced math coursework in high school often just fulfills requisites in colleges. In general, students need much higher level of math than the general requirements to get admitted to impacted majors. 

Most science and technology classes have math prerequisites.

Science and technology classes at the honors and AP levels usually require math prerequisites to register. Check with your counselor for prerequisites if you already have in mind courses you need to take.

Finish math prerequisites in summer.

Start with this summer!

Summer provides the best window to add a math class to your transcript. This is the time when you can focus on the challenging concepts without juggling multiple subjects. Legend College Preparatory offers intensive summer classes that require 2 meetings of 3.5 hours weekly for 8 weeks. With both synchronous and asynchronous options for many classes, there will be one that would fit in your summer schedule!

Get math requirements updates.

Check in with your counselor for various UC/CSU math requirements updates. There are more options for your various different needs.
