Does taking AP classes or any classes in general in one year or another make a difference in college admissions?

What science classes will you take junior and senior year?

Regarding receiving college credit for MVC and DiffEQ, it’s a bit of a gamble. If you take those courses at a community college there is often a guaranteed transfer of credits to your state schools. For private colleges it gets more iffy. Some schools will give you credit, but often the most selective schools will only allow you to use them for placement. Some schools, like Stanford, I believe, will ask you to take a math placement test regardless of classes taken.
