<p>Hi! I'm an incoming freshman in high school now struggling in choice of classes, my goal of collage is CALTECH and MIT, my choices are the following:
9th: Algebra 2 Honors College Prep Pre-Calculus
10th: Pre-Calculus Honors AP Calculus AB
11th: AP Calculus BC AP Calculus BC</p>

<p>As you can see both ways end up with AP calculous BC, One shows all honors/ap courses while the other shows two years of college level mathematics. Both excellent choices that provide a strong foundation for future math courses at the collegiate level. BUT WHICH WAY IS MORE ATTRACTIVE TO COLLEGES!!!!!!</p>

<p>I very much doubt that they care. It seems kind of dumb to skip algebra two, just to get bogged down in taking 2 years of calculus, while learning one year’s worth…either you know algebra 2, in which case I would take precalc your freshman year, and Calc BC your sophomore year, or you don’t know algebra 2, in which case you should probably take it…</p>
