When taking calc as a senior was actually considered "smart"

I go to a highly, highly competitive public school. We send about 12 kids to the Ivies each year, about two to each (except for Brown and Princeton, two kids years ago back out of their ED contracts and since then its been impossible to get into those schools if you go to my high school). Anyway, the smartest of the kids in my school take AP Calc senior year. Most of the “smartest” kids take BC but there are quite a few Ivy Leaguers who took AB. Honestly, its all about what school you go to and the classes they offer, not what classes you are actually taking.
