<p>Ilikeyou, okay, seriously now. How many high schoolers have you met taking Real Analysis in high school? I can think of three, and and all are very hardcore math people (and in addition are very smart). That’s a ridiculous suggestion for someone who hasn’t expressed any interest in majoring in Math. </p>
<p>Biovball, the issue here is that your putting yourself on a very advanced track, and people who do that either graduate early or dual-enroll. The thing you have to look at here is whether or not you want to dual-enroll or graduate early. If you don’t want to do either, stick with what you had in the OP (except it might be preferred to do Calc sophomore and junior year, then Stats senior, because you might change your mind on your math sequence later and that gives you more flexibility). Keep in mind though, that racking up a bunch of APs which you can’t use and aren’t interested in, just because they’re APs isn’t really useful. Dual-enrollment credits can be used for college, are more impressive, and should hopefully be more interesting to you, which is why many of us have suggested them so strongly.</p>
<p>Edit: Ahhh, I missed a post there in the previous page… one sec.</p>
<p>“QuertyKey- OK I’'ll ask my counselor about that. Does it have to be a college near me? I live by Sacramento- would I be able to dual-enroll with Stanford?”</p>
<p>There are several reasons why dual-enrolling with Stanford would be a horrible idea.</p>
<ol>
<li>They don’t want you. Colleges like that don’t want dual-enrollment students.</li>
<li>Not a feasible commute.</li>
<li>Extremely expensive.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you live near an inexpensive University or a community college, that is where you want to dual-enroll. When you dual-enroll you are likely taking some classes at your high school and some at your college on the same days. You have to be able to get to and from each of them relatively quickly. Also, since it’s a college cost becomes an issue. Community colleges in CA I heard were only $26/hr or something (someone else can confirm that), so that is very affordable to take as many classes as you want. Where as a school like Stanford probably costs in excess of $1000/hr.</p>
<p>Also, are you just starting your Freshman year? If so I have a strong feeling that your counselor will tell you not to worry about it right now, but hopefully they can help you out with some information.</p>
<p>Ok thanks. I have a community college really close to me. I am an incoming freshmen, but I am worried that if I wait to think about dual enrollment it might be hard to rearrange my schedule to fit.</p>
<p>You would buy a textbook and review books for AP Bio, and study it yourself, and sign up for the AP test when the time comes.</p>
<p>I didn’t self-study anything so I wouldn’t be able to give any good advice or anything, but several people here have, and they can help you figure out what you need.</p>
<p>My recommendation would be to have a strong knowledge of Chemistry before AP Chem. You should self-study it a lot over the summer using Princeton Review.</p>
<p>It’s not something you can learn as you go along.</p>
<p>I spoke with my counselor and she is letting me dual enroll at Sierra College and self study AP Bio. I’ve heard good things about Cliffs. ANyone have an opinion?</p>
