Summer Precalc at A College

Hello! I am an 8th grader who is taking Algebra 1, which is offered at my school for accelerated students. I currently have plans for high school to do Precalculus in the summer after my sophomore year, so I can do AP Calc AB my junior year and AP Calc BC my senior year.

No US university requires BC for frosh admission. Only a small number specify any kind of calculus at all for frosh admission.

However, I’m not entirely sure if that means I’ll be able to get high school credit for that and quickly move on to AP Calc AB since it says completing these classes can reward you with college credit. Do I need to worry about that at all?

Whether your high school will include it on your record is up to your high school. However, when you apply to colleges for frosh admission, all high school and college courses must be included in your application, so it does not really matter whether a college course is also included in your high school record.
