What is your budget? Did you run the NPC, and if so are you and your parents fine with the result?

I put it as a reach. I hope that you have good safeties lined up.

Your C in precalculus suggests that calculus might be tough when you do take it.

@DadTwoGirls I’m anticipating an A in AP Calc AB. The price is within budget. Can you give any insight to my chances in the ED pool?
