<p>Is it true that not all colleges give credit for AP Calc BC, even if you score a 4 or 5 on it? I just talked to the Dean of Students at my school and she said that most colleges grant credit for AP Calc AB NOT BC. </p>
<p>I've never heard of this, and since she's not even a math teacher I am doubting her almost 90%. But thanks to her, I'm so confused ....</p>
<p>Well, where I'm going(Georgia Tech - mainly an engineering school, so you can expect the math to be tough), credit is given for Calculus I by a score of </p>
<p>4,5 on AB
3,4,5 on BC</p>
<p>But I still took BC even though I was only prepared for AB, but I think I'll get the score anyway.</p>
<p>So yea, some schools do have it that way.</p>
<p>not all colleges give credit for AP Calc BC, but that is very rare, and when colleges don't give credit for AP Calc BC they don't give AP credit in general, i.e. Caltech.</p>
<p>it is absolutely absurd to hear of a college giving credit for AP Calc AB but not BC, as BC is more advanced than AB. Maybe you have the two switched around? Some colleges do give credit for BC but not AB. (MIT)</p>
<p>There are a few schools that give no credit for AB, but give credit for BC. However, the school that I will attend next year, Cornell, gives credit for scores ≥ 3 on BC and ≥ 4 on AB.</p>
<p>A BC exam contains an AB subscore. Giving credit for AB and not BC would be just like giving credit for biology instead of honor's biology (assuming you could get college credit for such classes).</p>
<p>Thanks for all the responses! At least I know that my school's Dean of Students clearly has a misunderstanding on Calc BC, and it wasn't me going crazy.</p>
<p>Not exactly, I think it's possible to obtain a high score on the Calc BC test without a well understanding of the important things that make BC different, such as Taylor series and such.</p>
<p>So maybe that's why.</p>
<p>Anybody with a master in education can become dean, even if that person is retarded.</p>
