AB vs BC Calc - Will it hurt

<p>I'm applying to SEAS and am taking AB Calc vs BC. Both are offered, but I didn't take AP Calc as a Junior and most people do AP Calc then AB then BC at my school. I didn't double up on my math originally as I was going to be an art major and took more art electives. How will that affect my chances for SEAS? Thanks</p>

<p>shouldn't be a big deal</p>

<p>No it is a big deal...she's going into engineering. take BC calc definitely.</p>

<p>i don't know if she CAN...i think she said it was too late. If your school prevents you from going straight to AP Calc BC, just take what u can (AB), and try learning the extra material to take the BC exam. It has been done before and is certainly doable.</p>

<p>If your school lets you go directly from precal to BC calc, do it. It's certainly doable.</p>

<p>whoa. most people take ab calc before they take bc? that's so different. >_> we went from trig/anl geo/precalc junior year to bc calc senior.</p>

<p>yeah, i went from precalc to bc as well. anyway, to the OP, dont worry about it too much. having BC on your transcript is certainly a plus, shows youre pretty adept in math, but having AB achieves the same effect to a lesser extent. considering you have many other opportunities to show your commitment to math/science, this isnt really something you should worry about.</p>
