<p>I don’t think you need to take AP Calc unless you are interested in a math/science-based major (and you say you’re not). </p>
<p>There are a lot of people (myself included) who opted out of AP Calc for AP Stat or even no math class at all senior year but were still able to get into college.</p>
<p>And not to sound contradictory, it also depends on how competitive the LACs you’re applying to are. If they’re in the top-20 or so, maybe calc would be a good idea.</p>
