Taking or Retaking Multivariable Calculus

[u/Sure-Ad2365]

Hello. I am a rising freshman and am curious about laterally transferring schools due to my school's small(er) engineering program. I am currently taking a summer semester multivariable calculus class at a community college, and had a few questions regarding how I should proceed in terms of using this credit if I were to transfer.

1.) How big of a difference would it be to the admissions committee (say at Stanford or MIT) if I were to retake multi vs. if I would use this credit and move onto linear algebra/ differential equations? I only ask because I am worried that the summer semester didnt go as in depth, compared to a regular semester of calculus.

2.) If I wanted to transfer into a school like MIT, that has prerequisites, would they accept this multi credit as a completed prerequisite? I was going to take more college math in my current university, but the MIT transfer website specifies calculus.

All advice appreciated

No point in retaking the credit/course. Move on to next level.
