Advanced Calculus

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I took AP Calculus BC as a sophomore this past year, and I plan to take AP Statistics next year as a junior.</p>

<p>Would it be detrimental to me in terms of college admissions to top schools (Ivy's, MIT, Harvey Mudd, U. Michigan, etc.) if I didn't take an advanced calculus course such as Multivariable Calculus or Linear Algebra (and instead took AP Statistics, which has a reputation as being an easy class) only because my school doesn't offer one? I plan to find somewhere where I can take advanced math classes senior year; my school doesn't have dual enrollment and the community colleges are all booked out.</p>

<p>And how much of a boost is it to have taken advanced math courses while in high school?</p>

<p>Thank you for your time!</p>

<p>Most people don’t take those classes in high school.</p>

<p>Have you looked at local universities, though (as opposed to community college)? This is how I take dual-enrollment classes.</p>
