Should I choose AP Econ or Comp Sci A?

The high school society here's a little weird. You get stigmatized for NOT taking AP classes, actually. Most students have at least four APs when they graduate. And for the classes, it's a random draw. Idiots who barely pass their normal classes have much as a chance to get in as good students. It's really sad when top-performing students don't make it in the classes they want while people who really don't deserve/actually care make it in. So yeah. Our AP classes get filled up really quickly. We don't have enough teachers. :/ Which is why there's a limit.


Looks like I'm taking Econ, while self-studying CS for the next 17 months.

That's not weird, that's stupid. Not every student is ready for college-level courses (*couchmostaren'tcough*). At my schjool, I guess it's expected, so to speak, but you aren't shunned if you don't take them. Thankfully, mine is a large school, so we have plenty of classes and teachers to go around.
