<p>@bluberaptor is right. I’m a junior taking BC, which “seems impressive” in my small private school (since I’m the only junior taking BC). However, all of my Asian friends in the nearby public school are at least taking BC, and a fair proportion of them are taking DiffEQ. The sad truth is that many smaller private schools simply lack the resources to allow much acceleration (especially in math). </p>
<p>Taking calc BC as a junior puts your on par with other competitive applicants, but I wouldn’t say it’s something that makes you stand out. </p>
