<ol>
<li> If you take math, consider taking sophomore level courses at community college like multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. IB Math (score of 5, 6, or 7) does not give any additional credit over AP Calculus BC (score of 4 or 5) at Stanford.</li>
<li> AP Physics C is generally considered a much more rigorous course than AP Environmental Science. Stanford does not give any credit at all for AP Environmental Science. However, since there may be limitations on use of AP Physics for physics or engineering majors, you may want to take a transferable “physics for scientists and engineers” course at a community college instead.</li>
