<p>I am a Junior taking AP Calculus BC. I am getting high grades and I will probably end with a low A or a high A- for the year. Do engineering schools like to see this? Do they like seeing a junior taking ap calc bc and getting an A?</p>
<p>Yes, being two years ahead in math and doing well (A in class and 5 on AP test) should be fine. Will you be taking subsequent math courses at a local college as a senior?</p>
<p>Getting an A is pretty good, but each teacher teaches differently. At my old school, people could make A’s and B’s in AP courses easily, but all would fail the AP exams. Evaluate your teacher objectively and don’t forget to self-study a lot so you can get either a 4 or a 5.</p>
<p>I’m currently a junior and am enrolled in Calc AB. My teacher said that I’m doing well enough to self-study BC and take the BC exam in 2014 instead of AB. I would need to start at the beginning of next week. Is this wise? I would be taking a college class for math during my senior year, which I think would look great on apps if I get a 5 on the exam.</p>

<p>OP, what ucbalumnus alluded to is very important. You don’t want to stop your progression by just taking finite math or stats as a senior. Since most schools don’t offer maths beyond BC, you’ll have to look to a local University/College/CC or do it online. Start looking for options now. It will require some gymnastics to make it work.</p>
