<p>So guys I am a senior and I have a 3.833 gpa. I am taking three ap's if you include ap calc ab. Problem is that AP Calc is not really hard, but requires a ton of work to get an A or A- and I do not have time to do all the work because of my other classes and xc's. So should I drop AP Calc to guarantee myself an A in Calc honors or continue with it and end up with a mid to low B for the semester? Which will look better to colleges specifically Stanford (the more rigorous class with an alright grade or the easier class with an excellent grade)?</p>
<p>AP Calculus AB is about half pace compared to college freshman calculus. So if “Calculus honors” is even slower pace than that, it will be even further from college freshman calculus in terms of what it is like.</p>
<p>damn…no wonder why everybody from my school has such a tough time with college math…guess i have no choice but to take it…you think colleges will really reject me if i get a B in it despite having perfect grades everywhere else?</p>
<p>i mean it is an AP. my grade technically should be lower than it was in pre calc which I must say was easy</p>
<p>When I went to high school, students went directly from precalculus to AP Calculus BC. Many did get A grades in the class and 5 scores on the AP test.</p>
<p>Admissions Offices of very selective colleges have a standard answer to your question:</p>
<p>Which will look better to colleges specifically Stanford (the more rigorous class with an alright grade or the easier class with an excellent grade)?</p>
<p>“The most rigorous class available with an excellent grade.”</p>
