<p>Hi! I specifically said "Harvard" but it really does apply to any ivy league schools.</p>
<p>I'm currently a sophomore in high school and I took Geometry as a freshman, when I could take it in 8th grade. My middle school counselor messed my schedule up so I ended up taking Algebra 1 in my eighth grade. It's when I first came to America as well, so situations were pretty hectic and I had no time to pay attention to my math class. I really regret not fixing my schedule. All the "smart" kids who are planning on getting into top 20 colleges took Algebra 2 or PreCalculus as freshmen, and I am worrying if that's a standard for top colleges. Do you think my chances of getting admitted decreased while I was being held back in math one year? just a reminder, I'm Asian and I think math standard for Asians are considered to be high. </p>
<p>Just as a note, I have no hard time getting A's in honors math classes.</p>
