Would an AP Calculus or a Columbia University class of Calculus look?
Take which ever course would be better suited for the level of calculus that would be challenging for you. If AP Calculus would be challenging go for it. AP course work is suited to the test not necessarily general and for the proper analysis of calculus theorems and principles. However it is not definite on a college transcript if you dont submit it to your college of choice. The Columbia University. Since it is presitigious it will definitely go onto you college transcript if you do well and if you do badly. The final will probably be more challenging than the AP exam. But it is a very good course to put on your transcript for other colleges to view especially if you do well/ make it in your best interest to succeed. Which ever course you believe you will succeed I assume it is between AP Calc BC vs. Calculus If it is AP Calc AB vs. Calclus definitely chose calculus.
