<p>AP Calculus isn’t “absolutely necessary”, but it’ll be helpful if you want to major in business, and having another AP under your belt won’t hurt you either…unless you do poorly in it or it’s just not your thing. Don’t take it if you really, really would rather not take it, but I’d say that it would be helpful to you. Have you taken any other AP (or IB or honors or something) courses?</p>
