Ok, I’m a high school senior. I took AP calculus I (AB) as a junior at my high school, but didn’t take the AP test. Last semester, I took Calculus II at a local community college and got an A-.

At the univeristy I’m going to in fall '08, the degree in biochem requires calculus I, calculus II, and elementary linear algebra.

Will the transfer credit A- from calculus 2 be figured in my GPA?
Should I take the calculus AB test to get credit for calculus I and then just take a semester of linear algebra and then stats or something?

I think the best plan of action would be to take calculus I next year freshmen semester. It’ll be review/GPA booster since I already took it in high school and got an A- in calc II. Then second semester I can take linear algebra and fulfill the 2 semester pre-med requirement as well as my degree math requirements at the same time. Let me know what you think about that.

Also, will a medical school even need or want to know about my dual enrollment calc II grade? I wish there was a way to get rid of my A-. I planned on starting college next year with a clean slate, not a 3.7…
