How important is AP calculus in Junior year?

[Data10]

<p>

Typically, if a student takes calculus at all in HS, s/he has it as a senior. There is neither an advantage nor disadvantage to taking it as a junior.

I agree that most take calculus as a senior and doing so is fine. However, there is often an advantage to not be like most applicants. If the vast majority of applicants’ highest math level is AP calculus, then the few who took multivariable calculus and linear algebra in their senior year and received A’s in those classes stand out in a positive way.</p>
