<p>Another vote in agreement with Colorado_mom.</p>
<p>Getting through at least AB Calc is important, but anything beyond that is not really much of an advantage unless you want to spend your freshman year taking classes with Sophs or Jrs.</p>
<p>While AP Physics is nice, any serious STEM program will be much more in depth, and will challenge all but the most gifted Physics C student. I would highly discourage anyone from skipping STEM Physics I and/or II, regardless of their AP background.</p>
