<p>The quality of the math course will matter. Know a gifted girl who took AP calc at local HS, regular calc “2” at flagship U via state’s youth options and then calc “3” at an Ivy. Her mother said she and a college friend rated schools and concluded Ivy > good public U regular (ie not Honors) > podunk college > AP. More material is covered in a good college course than an average one- students with AP credit sometimes struggle with 2nd semester calc or repeat 1st sem. Worry more about the challenge and quality of the course than the resume. Choose the one that will not have him bored and wasting his summer, not the application. It could be worthwhile to pay more to get more.</p>
