Wtf? Damn mang, I didn't know calc went that high. It's difficult to advise you on how to spend your gap year because I'm not you and I don't know your application. But if you have a sustained period of high academic performance, I doubt adding another A to the mix will substantially improve your cause. But who knows.Gracias! I had thought about the possibility of doing a gap year also. Do you know what you plan on doing during yours? My main concern would be that I would need to get a stable income for that year and also keep myself immersed in the science/medicine world. I was also wondering if whether or not I should take another math class and pull an A in it to show that I'm not bad with math. The classes I got C's in were calc II, III, and differential equations, but I got a B in Calc IV and an A in linear algebra. Should I just take Calc V over the summer and pull an A, and leave it at that. I figured if anything, Calc V might prepare me to tame the beast that is P-Chem anyways
I'm doing a very low key gap year & everything is working out fine. I already have a lot of volunteering & clinical exposure so I really didn't have to get a medically related job if I didn't want to. I decided to spend my off time (since applying took up 75% of my time) training to be an EMT but most schools didn't really care what I did this year because I already had everything I needed done.Gracias!

Haha such is the beauty of going to a school that is on quarters, we bust out all the roman numerals it seems like. Calc IV is just multivariable, which I think at semester schools is normally called Calc II? So calc V is just sort of "Advanced" multivariable, definitely not as intense as the V makes it sound
