AP Statistics, Physics, or both?
Hi, I'm in my senior year of highschool and wondering if AP Statistics and regular Physics are must-take classes if I want to go into Pharmacology. I think both are extremely valuable but with a calculus course, handling all 3 might be a challenge for me. Should I push myself to take all three or just pick 1 to go along with reg. calculus? Thank you!

What are the most suitable majors for transitioning from engineering?
Suppose a person has completed the physics I-III sequence, the calculus I-III sequence, differential equations, probability and statistics, linear algebra, along with several engineering-specific credits. Which majors should they consider transitioning to where they have already met many of the required courses? Unfortunately, transitioning to one of the business majors is less feasible due to the amount of required courses & lack of overlap, and their IQ probably isn't high enough for a mathematics or physics major.
