Hey all,
I’m currently in Algebra II as a sophomore at my current high school, and while I’m in the most advanced math class possible for my grade, I made the decision to take Calculus BC online. Because of this, I’m taking the AP test in May, with the other seniors. I plan on continuing mathematics at my local community college (Those classes can actually go on my transcript), but my current Calculus course will not go on my transcript as it is online. Assuming I do well on the AP, how suspicious will this look to colleges? Will they question my mathematical ability? Or will more advanced math classes actually on my transcript make up for the lack of Calc BC on my transcript despite the AP score?
Thanks!
To clarify, Calculus BC is offered at my school, but only to seniors. Because I’m taking it 2 years ahead but won’t have an actual transcript for the course (but will have a transcript for classes such as calc III and beyond), will this leave me better off or worse?
When applying to colleges, you will self-report and/or send transcripts from every high school (including an on-line one) and college where you attended classes during high school.
Or are you saying that you self-studied the course from on-line resources without being officially enrolled in any high school or college?
Buy some good text book, even 2nd hand one is OK, learn it from online, do your practice homework, you can make it. Not a big deal.
@ucbalumnus, Yes. I do have an online course which gives me a grade, but I’m not too sure if this will actually get to be put anywhere on my college app. (I currently have a 93, so It’d be nice if I could prove I knew the material.) Because of this, I’m not too sure what category to put this course in. In addition, I’m worried colleges will think I was afraid of my senior course, which is why I took it early.
If it’s an official peoviserw then you can send the transcript and add it directly into the SRAR on coalition app, UC app, etc.
