Would I be better off taking pre-calc or advanced statistics? I'm a psych major and am planning out my course schedule for the fall.

You will absolutely need stats in psych

Look up the Gen Ed requirements for your school. At my school for non-STEM majors the requirement is 6 hrs of 100+ level math, pick whatever courses you'd like.

If you plan to practice psychology, you will need AT LEAST a masters degree, and a PhD is preferable. If you go to graduate school, you will be expected to conduct research, and you will NEED the statistics much more than pre-calc.
