Last year, everyone from my son’s high school who applied to Penn got rejected (like 7). What we heard is that when the guidance counselors asked why, the explanation given was that they all took AP Calc AB instead of BC. I don’t think whether they have BC calc knowledge is important but whether they feel the kids are challenging themselves to the fullest extent. That said, I think at least one student was admitted this year who took AB (was not in my son’s BC class) so it can’t be a showstopper.
