Cornell Statistics Questions

[cornellian19]

I was recently accepted ED to CALS at Cornell for the Class of 2019 with a major in animal science and a pre-vet track. I know I'm thinking ahead, but what is the best/easiest statistics class to take at Cornell for someone who doesn't love math? I was planning to take stats in the fall, because I'll be taking many science classes that will get harder in future semesters, but I've heard a lot about the different classes, and I'm not sure which would be best.

Deciding between AEM 2100, ILR/STSCI 2100, and PAM 2100. AEM 2100 I've heard has a great professor and is currently offered in the fall. I've heard STSCI 2100 has a much better/easier professor (Karns) in the spring than in the fall. And I've heard that PAM 2100 is easy in general but is only offered in the spring.

Would it be too much to take stats in the spring? I'll probably be taking the next level of chemistry, 2080 I think it is, and a bunch of animal bio/regular bio courses. So I think I want to get it out of the way during my first semester in the fall, but I'm not sure if that's the best option (probably AEM then)?

Any advice?
Thank you!

Its just stats you will be fine. You might want to post this in school specific forums.

All my friends say it is high school math.

ilr stats is the easiest. why would you ever take a 4000 level stats class. ILR with PAM as close second. just asked cornell friend who by accident took a mid level 4 credit stats class and said it was very hard.

Thanks. Do you or your friend know about the difference in professors in ilr stats? Because apparently the professor in the fall is much harder than the one in the spring, but I probably will have to take stats in the fall.

I would recommend AEM stats (make sure you go to office hours to have your homework checked). I've heard PAM stats got harder with the new professor and is deathly boring.
