<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. 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. Does this hurt in terms of chances to getting into MIT? I already have 3 years of math; I took two math classes sophomore year.</p>
<p>If so, what should I do?</p>
<p>4 years of math are recommended for MIT applicants. is there a reason you skipped out this year? if it’s a good reason you might be able to explain your way out of it in the additional comments section, but if not, your courseload and displayed interest in math (very important for MIT, seeing as it’s a selective school known for math/science advances) will be subpar. if you can explain it, make sure you take calc this summer and stats next year. your application will look weak if you don’t take all the math classes that were available to you.</p>
<p>I’m curious if your school offers anything beyond AP Calc BC?</p>
<p>Also, do most students take Calc AB during sophomore year (that sounds a bit unusual unless the students are accelerated)?</p>
<p>If there is nothing beyond Calc BC, it is perfectly fine to skip a year, but it would be better to do it this year and have a 4 or 5 on the AP exam.</p>
<p>Or, if you took it at a CC, you should be able to have that grade appear on your HS transcript, or have the official CC transcript sent with your application.</p>
<p>My school does offer BC. However, I have already taken AB and stats sophomore year. Would it still suffice I’d I end up taking BC in a community college? And the main reason I was unable to take BC was because of a scheduling conflict.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure taking BC at a community college would be fine, as long as you do it before you apply.</p>
