<p>My daughter just started her senior year. </p>

<p>Her stats are: top 5% of her class at a top public hs
Unweighted gpa is 3.9
SAT 2020
She will have taken 9 APs across the range of subjects by graduation, the rest of her courses are honors.
She has great depth in ECs including solid leadership.
2 honor societies</p>

<p>Her top two colleges are Loyola Univ MD, and Catholic Univ of America.</p>

<p>She wants to drop AP Calc AB. She’ll still take two APs and two Honor classes this year. Will not taking AP Calc senior year be a merit scholarship problem for these schools?</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinion!</p>

<p>Yes, I’d take AP Calc AB. Its really important to have 4 years of math, especially if your school offers it. Would she be taking another math class instead?</p>

<p>I don’t think that dropping the AP class would pose a significant problem to any merit scholarships your daughter’s seeking, actually. If she takes a regular calculus course or even statistics, I’m sure she’ll be fine–her GPA and SAT seem high enough for her top choice schools (although I’m not very familiar with them so I’d check the score range of merit scholarships offered in the past to make sure).</p>

<p>Best of luck! </p>
