Calculus AB or BC

<p>Since you plan on going into science, I would definitely do BC.</p>

<p>I have a book written by a former Dartmouth admissions officer and she says Calc BC is the AP class that colleges value the most.</p>

<p>And take Honors Forensics.</p>

<p>Definitely take BC.</p>

<p>Monstor…you say this is your first AP experience. So I wanted to mention that a lot of CCers are inundated with APs. So…ADDING a 5th or 6th AP to their schedule can sometimes be the straw that broke the camel’s back. This math moves a lot more quickly. My D started with APs in 9th grade, and I think she’d agree they aren’t really “harder”, but they often involve a faster pace and therefore a lot more work outside of school to keep up. So, if you’re “going for gold”, and, like her you’re a member in two state champion teams, also school drama, plus 2 of your classes meet in the evenings for required co-curriculum work, and your other 5 classes are 3-4 APs and 1-2 honors…SOMETIMES even a good math student can bite off more than they can chew and IF this is a subject that might not be THE favorite…taking AB is a way to cut back on rigor just a tiny bit.</p>

<p>I am taking AB now,i want to leave the BC for my senior year as a review,i think they don’t make much difference in college admission,AP BC is just 3 more chapters,you can learn by urself,it doesn’t take long.</p>
