<p>I posted this question once, but I got no responses . . . :(
Anyways, is it a "plus point" if one finishes ALL math and science courses offered in a high school by junior year as opposed to finishing them ALL by senior year?</p>
<p>There aren't any "points". Just do what you want to do--I doubt it matters too much if you frontload everything or space it out as long as you use the rest of your time appropriately--for example, if you do finish your requirements early, don't slack off. Go find something interesting in math/science to do. </p>
<p>That being said you tend to ask a lot of questions that we, as Caltech students, can only speculate wildly on. If you do well in school and you clearly have a passion for math and science, then you have a decent chance of being admitted here--but it's still only a chance. Beyond that, we can't really inform you accurately on the specifics. </p>
<p>Tell you what--take all the time you would spend worrying / strategizing / posting on CC and make something cool. Doesn't have to be math or science, just do something you'll be proud of. That's a much better use of your time. Even if it doesn't directly increase your chances to be admitted here, you'll be a better person for it--and isn't that what college is all about anyway?</p>
