<p>I was unable to make AP Calc BC so i will have AP Calc AB in my Junior year of high school this year. I am looking towards majoring in engineering and some schools such as Cornell don't accept credits for AP Calc AB. My freshman year i took Geometry honors and Algebra 2 Honors, then i took Pre Calc CP because the teachers who taught honors were not good and now because i didn't achieve an A in Pre Calc CP due to constant illness which led to absences (i had an A-) i cannot take AP Calc BC. How screwed am I? Freshman year i have also taken english 1 Honors, World History cp, Biology Honors, and the required personal finance/civics. Sophomore year i took English 2 Honors, Chemistry Honors, US History 1 Honors, Film Studies and Accounting 1. This Junior year i have English 3 Honors, Us History 2 Honors, AP Chem, Physics Honors, AP Psychology. Senior year i plan to take AP Statistics, English 4 Honors, AP Physics and the rest i am undecided. How screwed am I?</p>
<p>Can’t you take Calc BC after AB, or does your school have a restriction? </p>
<p>For Cornell, you take a placement test to determine what math class you take if you feel your skills are better suited for a higher class. So just learn as much calculus as you can (my high school offered neither AP Calc classes so I really don’t know the difference) and then if you get into Cornell, it will be your own intelligence, not the high school class you took, that determines which math class you take. </p>
