My son took calculus, basically the equivalent of Calc AB, at a local city college this summer, but without credit (it was a free STEM program for city public school students). He wanted to take Calc BC in high school this year; he loves math and physics and he took the summer calculus class specifically to prepare himself for Calculus BC. He was shut out of the BC class since it was oversubscribed. He has three choices that we can see: First, he can take Calc AB again, which might look weird to colleges since he took calculus this past summer. Second, the Calc BC teacher said he could "audit" the BC class but the course would not appear on his transcript in any form, although he would be prepared for the AP test at the end of the year. Third, he could not take math. He can't take something outside of school due to sports/music/etc. There is just no time. He wants to both progress in math and not have something glitchy to explain away to colleges. Anyone have any suggestions for this unfortunate situation? I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
