<p>Alright, here's my situation. I'm in Calc BC right now and I'm getting about an 86%. I'm pretty sure it won't go down to a C, but it probably won't go up to an A either. Until next week I have the option to transfer to Calc AB, which I'm prety sure I can get an "A" in. How much does UCLA care which Calc you've taken? Will they accept people will BC over me. Keep in mind that I can take BC next year because I'm a junior(my school allows this).</p>
<p>I don't think it would make that much of a difference?
my school required that you to take AB before BC
and I've found people who haven't taken calculus at all in high school</p>
<p>My daughter was accepted to UCLA Engineering this year and hadn't taken Calc BC because it wasn't offered at her school. She did pass the Calc BC AP test though.</p>
<p>Will they accept people will BC over me? = False!</p>
<p>They review your application in its entirety, meaning all factors/extracurriculars/grades/activities/etc are taken into consideration. However, getting a B will lower you GPA so my recommendation is to first take Calculus AB where you can definitely get the A and then take Calculus BC senior year (and get an A as well).</p>
<p>go ahead and switch to AB </p>
<p>your grade for this course is just ONE part of your application</p>
<p>in short, no</p>
<p>it doesn't matter at all.</p>
<p>UCLA cares which math/science courses you take if you're applying for engineering; most who get admitted to HSSEAS took AP Calculus BC in high school. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many public high schools in California don't offer AP Calculus BC as a course so I question how much weight UCLA would really put on this - even for engineering.</p>
<p>erm well I got into engineering without BC
but many of the engineers in my orientation group took BC and got 5s (although they don't know that at time of admission)</p>
<p>My highest math in high school was Precalc, and I got into UCLA as a Pre-Biz Econ.</p>
<p>I'm going to take BC, just not as a junior. Is this the the case with most engineering guys?</p>
