<p>so Does taking AP Calc AB Junior year and then doing BC senior year just look so redundant? I am pretty confident that I can get A+ in both class if i do AB then BC but I am not so confident that I can get a good grade if I take BC junior year.. ( BTW my school only offers math up to Calc BC). So which would be better for college app?</p>
<p>A lot of schools require you to take AB before BC so no, it wouldn’t look stupid.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t so would that effect how such course choices are viewed? no right? I mean do colleges look really closely at whether things such as pre-requisites exist?</p>
<p>BC’s not much harder than AB. There’s only a tad more content which is a little more hard work (memorizing, homework, tests, etc.) but it also means that you don’t have to bore yourself next year because a LOT of BC stuff is already in AB and it definitely looks better on an app to have BC and then show a more varied course selection senior year.</p>
<p>Then again, if you like math and want an easy A+ and (especially) if your school offers a limited number of “interesting” APs (like if you’re a science student, you’d want more science APs over APUSH, Euro, Econ, etc.), go for both of them during separate years. It definitely wouldn’t look bad. Your school’s highest math course is BC. For all colleges know, you were bored with Calculus but couldn’t find anything harder.</p>
<p>No, but BC before AB would. :)</p>
<p>At my HS, AB is a prerequisite to BC.</p>
<p>Not at all. I did, as do most people at my high school.</p>
