<p>Im currently a junior in high school. I took calculus AB last year however am not taking BC this year. In fact, I am not taking any math class. </p>
<p>I will still be taking Calculus BC but online/a community college by the end of 2013, but dont think it will appear on the transcript. How much does this hurt in terms of chances to getting into an Ivy? I already have 3 years of math; I took two math classes sophomore year?</p>
<p>So, you’re taking BC in the fall of 2013, the fall of your senior year?</p>
<p>Does your high school offer BC? If so, why are you taking it on-line with the local community college?</p>
<p>One way or other, it’s important to communicate to the schools to which you’re applying which courses you’re taking senior year. Your high school will send at least a mid-year report. If they’re on the ball, that will happen automatically. In fact, some schools will send a first quarter report - with grades - my son’s high school did that.</p>
<p>If the course you’re taking at the community college isn’t some sort of dual-enrollment, you’ll need to have the college send your transcript, including the courses you’re currently taking at the time of the request. My wife used to work at a community college in the registrar’s office, and this was a typical task - to produce an official verification of enrollment, and, if asked by the student, to send along an official course schedule for the student for the current semester. These would be sent directly to whichever colleges the student requested. A small fee was involved.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply,</p>
<p>I am going to be taking BC the fall of 2013 (as a junior) so that it will still appear that I am taking a math class junior year. I was not able to take it at school (although it is offered) because I had a scheduling conflict which clashed with BC. </p>
<p>If I were the send the BC grade as part of the online course to colleges, would colleges value that similarly or look down upon it?</p>
<p>If you had a scheduling conflict then it might appear as if you took advantage of your resources. It also might appear as if you weren’t up for the challenge since you took AB last year and decided to take the course at a community college.</p>
<p>As long as it is added to your transcript, colleges will not really care. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Okay thanks. But @tryp13, how would the colleges even know if it were a scheduling problem- do you have to tell them? And I will be still taking the course title ap calculus BC online so how will appear as not up to the challenge?</p>
<p>Make sure you get a 5 on the AP test so they know you were “up to the challenge.”</p>
