Bad to not take a math senior year? special circumstance

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Right now as Junior, I face a fork in the road, either take math or don't.
Freshman year I took Geometry, Sophomore- Hon. Advanced Algebra, Junior- AP Calculus AB and AP Stats
The only math left is AP Calculus BC, which is the toughest and highest course my school offers.
I've already fulfilled the A-G requirements in California to graduate high school.
Teachers tell me that I should take this course, but honestly I'm not doing too well in Calc AB. (Averaging B's in the class but realistically I feel like I'm in the C range if I were to grade myself).</p>

<p>Does this impact my potential college admissions in any way if I choose to not take it?
I feel like it's not worth it to take a hard class and get a bad grade that may in the end, end up hurting you more than it will help you getting into colleges.</p>

<p>Not taking a math class senior year does negatively effect you for college admission purposes. In addition, you didn’t present any special circumstances here, so I don’t know why that is in your title. Calc BC includes part of AB, so part of it would be review for you.</p>

<p>It would be negative. Maybe you could ask your guidance counselor if you could take a dual enrollment credit as an alternative to BC. </p>

<p>Take BC it is a lot easier if you have taken AB and will review the material in AB, so even if you don’t get it now, you’ll get it the second time.</p>
