<p>Hi, so today I got the sad news that I will have to drop either Calc BC or Macroeconomics. :(
I really want them both because I'm majoring in Economics. But I have no idea what to choose. Please give me some insights on which to choose. Are there maybe college courses I can take to replace one of them?? Will it look bad if I drop a math course?</p>
<p>How many APs are you taking this year? If not many, and you have a solid mathematical foundation, I would suggest you take AP Calc BC. Also, typical colleges treat AP Calc BC as two semester course, meaning you have to take both Calc I and II to get the credits worth as much as AP Calc BC.</p>
<p>I’m taking 3 (Bio, Lit, Calc BC?) because of scheduling conflicts , but self studying others now (Stat, Micro, Music, Macro?). Last year I took 3 AP exams.
My schedule is full of electives now because of this scheduling conflict and stupid layoffs -.-
So I should take Macro at a community college?? By the way I know this is a stupid question, but I’ve never taken a comm. college course, so how do i sign up for it?</p>
<p>^well, kudos to you for self-studying four AP tests. It’s quite of a feat. Anyway, I think you should take AP Calc BC since it is generally considered more rigorous than AP Macroeconomics. As for the community college course, I advise you to register through your school’s guidance counselor.</p>
<p>Edit: I personally believe it would be an overkill for you to take Macroeconomics at CC. But the choice is ultimately up to you.</p>
<p>I would’ve only had to self study 2 if if weren’t for this conflict. <em>sigh</em> sorry, I’m just kinda ****ed.
Why is it overkill to take Macro at cc? Is it really hard? o.o</p>
<p>Well, AP Bio + AP Lit + AP Calc BC + AP Stat(self-study) + AP Music Theory (self-study) + other school electives that might annoy you + ECs + college apps? On top of that, Macro at CC? I don’t know. You may be a badass mother****er and just get 5s on all of them. If you think you can handle them, go for it.</p>
<p>PS It’s not really that Macro is hard, but it will put more burdens on your shoulder.</p>
<p>Hm…That’s true. The electives though are jokes. College apps I’m starting now, well…essays anyway. 
I’m not too worried about Music because I’ve taken something like it before. The others I do worry about, and Track and Field of course. Maybe I’ll drop Stat? But I heard it was easy o.o</p>
<p>If you have to drop one, you should drop stats and pick up Macro since you’re intending to major in Econ at college.</p>
<p>Oh, is it possible to take Calc AB at school while taking Calc II at a cc??</p>
<p>Most likely, no. Most colleges require Calculus I as a prerequisite to Calc II. Thus, you can’t take Calc II while taking AP Calc AB, which is technically Calc I.</p>
<p>^^ by the way, I can consult you with this matter more closely through facebook, if you wish.</p>
<p>Lol it’s okay. I think I worked everything out now. Thanks so much for your help! :)</p>
<p>De nada se</p>
