Should I send in my AP scores?

I don’t know where you heard that you are stuck with a class, but that’s definitely not the case. For one things, Brown doesn’t really accept a ton of AP credit anyway and the credit it DOES accept goes only towards placement. If you feel rusty on Calc BC (or Calc 2 in college terms), you are more than welcome to retake the class in college. Plenty of people do for Biology and Math because they want to be sure they have a strong foundation before continuing. If you decide to retake a class, they’ll simply take the AP credit off your transcript so that it doesn’t count twice.

It’s better to send them in and have the credit rather than not have it on file and be stuck taking a class you don’t want to.
