Accepted Students: What's the highest level of math you took in HS?

<p>Calc AB senior year, but they do offer BC here</p>

<p>ap calc senior year, precalc junior year</p>

<p>AB is highest level offered... BC is selfstudy, and around 3 kids do that every year (although, they spend their time mainly just doing other stuff in the corner while us ABers are taught by the teacher)</p>

<p>Wow, looks like around half of you took MVC, much higher than I expected. That makes my choice between MVC/Discrete Math and AP Econ much easier :D</p>

<p>Calculus BC senior year. Our school offers one BC class and lots of AB classes. No Multivariable Calculus though...sounds exciting ;)</p>

<p>As far as admissions go, I think colleges want to see that you're challenging yourself with whatever opportunities you have rather than evaluating everyone linearly. Like CautiousPessimism said, it's more likely that many students didn't take BC/MVC only because they didn't have the option.</p>

<p>Yeah, my school offered AB as the highest level but kids do independent study for BC or take college Calculus. I agree it depends on the school. :D</p>

<p>:) MVC, which I took at a community college after taking BC. I was going to take LinAlg/DiffEqs this semester, but there was a schedule conflict so I opted for Moral Philosophy.</p>

<p>Does it make sense to take Calc AB before Calc BC, or just skip the Calc AB? Is Calc BC much harder than Calc AB?</p>

<p>linear algebra, multivariable, ODE course, 2 PDE courses</p>

<p>I'm only a sophomore, but I'm taking Calc AB junior and BC senior. I just need 2 MORE years of foreign language to even have a chance at getting into princeton:(</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I've had:
introduction to higher mathematics
linear algebra
analysis I and II </p>

<p>(all courses of the first year of undergraduate studies in mathematics)</p>

<p>mathematics for economists I and II
introductions to statistics
basic course on econometrics
time series models</p>

<p>Is this sufficient for applying for a graduate study in the states? (I am from Europe?)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>At my school (or around this area) you either take Calculus AB or BC...no one really ever takes both. Taking both seems awkward...I guess it comes down to what school you go to.</p>

<p>LouisXVI, your question confuses me a little. Do you mean undergraduate study in the states? If those are a classes you've taken before fully entering college, that should be more than sufficient for undergrad. If you're inquiring about graduate study, which comes after four years of college, it probably isn't. Is the term graduate study used to refer to something else in Europe?</p>

<p>I'm taking plain ol' Calculus I this year...not AP or anything.
I was pretty surprised to get in with such low-level math, but then again I've lots of foreign language, so I guess it sort of balanced out.</p>

<p>I'm taking Calculus 2 which is differential and multivariable calculus. I took Calc BC my sophomore year. Our program in the school moves really fast.</p>

<p>Calculus AB, senior year. There's an accelerated program that gets you to Calc BC by senior year, but I didn't get the right grade on the test in like 7th grade to get me into that track. I'm just glad i got to calculus - I had like a personal thing that I wanted to take calc before I graduated. :)</p>

<p>Reticulum, why do you say that you need to take 2 more years of a foreign language to even have a chance at Princeton?</p>

<p>Calc BC, multivar calc.</p>

<p>AB Calc. I could have taken BC, but our BC teacher is insane and I'm awful at math, so I chickened out.</p>

<p>To Rapsody in Green and other people interested in helping me.</p>

<p>In my earlier post (12 may) I'm referring to graduate study in the States. What is necessary to apply decently for a graduate study.</p>

<p>Note: The level of mathematics is considered to be much higher in my country (Belgium) than in the States (it truly is, our educational system is far more 'democratic' - in it's broadest sense) until university.</p>

<p>Of course, once we only consider the top universities, the story greatly changes.</p>

<p>Any people, that could help me? (cfr. earlier post)</p>
