<p>I hate math. I have a 92 gpa but in math its an 89. I don't find it difficult, just incredibly boring. Well I could drop math senior year in which case I'd take AP Physics B or keep math and take AP Stat (no way im taking calc). </p>
<p>My question is- How bad would it look if I dropped math? I'd still have 2 aps in my schedule, gov't/econ and physics.</p>
<p>Im going to be a political science major in college if that matters at all.</p>
<p>I doubt our own president can do calculus, so who cares if you do. I don't think it should be a problem.</p>
<p>Depends on where you want to go to school</p>
<p>Bad example Godfather... our own president is also unable to speak proper English, and he doesn't know the first thing about science.</p>
<p>Either way, an 89 isn't exactly that bad... what colleges are you looking at? The top several will want to see you continue, but if you're going into poli sci, I guess it won't really matter (especially if you're replacing it with AP Phys).</p>
<p>Jabronidan, can you get into Yale as a legacy admit? I think taking math senior yr depends on what the colleges you are interested in require or want to see on apps. Do some research on that before making a decision. Personally, George W. not doing something is good enough reason for you to do it.</p>
<p>Alright guys, calm down, I was joking. I love it how if anything is said that has any fault, people jump on it and flip out because they're trying so hard to flaunt their intelligence on this site.</p>
<p>Chill, we know all of you make Einstein look stupid, you don't need to be rude.</p>
<p>Well, looking at Cornell, NYU, Cuny Honors, and Fordham
Obviously the first 2 are reaches, I know.
Well I think I'm gonna talk to my guidance and college counselor and might end up dropping it.</p>
<p>The average high schooler (not necessarily the smarter people) are smarter than George W.</p>
<p>Oh no, my thread about me dropping math has turned political, next thing you know it I'll be asking a question on Isiah Thomas and reaching comparisons to George W. (no, please don't)</p>
<p>Dubya can bench 185, according to NBC. Don't **** wit him!</p>
<p>Do you realize that just about the only thing trig identities are good for whatsoever is calculus?</p>
<p>if math is boring to you, your teachers must be horrible...</p>
<p>Can you post all the other courses you're taking next year? That would help.</p>
<p>Dropping math your senior year isn't the smartest choice. I'm much like you, I hate math as well, but because of that I chose to stick out and I'm in AP Calc right now.</p>
<p>Your going to have to take math in college at some point and it can be assured they won't go over everything to make sure you know it. If you can handle going off to college without having math for a year, then fine, but I'm pretty sure most people would be lost.</p>
<p>Well first let me say, that I really haven't payed attention in math for 2 years, I've gotten by on figuring things out the day before the test, sometimes during the test.</p>
<p>Next years schedule:
1st semester- AP Govt, AP Stat, Art, Social Science Research, English, Physics
2nd Semester- AP Economics, AP Stat, English, Physics</p>
<p>If i drop math, i'd take AP Physics, which is a double period. I can't drop science, the program I'm in requires 5 years of science and physics, yet to take Physics obviously.</p>
<p>Bush earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Harvard in 1975; he is the first U.S. President to hold an MBA.</p>
<p>Why not get rid of one of those humanities courses instead? You have three social studies classes.
And calculus is a lot easier than some make it out to be. I would worry more about Fourier Analysis than anything else. Besides, not taking Calculus will set you back come freshman year, when you will be required to take it anyway.</p>
<p>I'm not taking a formal math course during my senior year. My school only goes up to Calculus AB, and after that, it's either Stats, Intro to College Math, Adv. Calculus Topics... a bunch of random classes. I'm self-studying for Calculus BC instead. As for picking a math-oriented course at school, I selected Java Programming.</p>
<p>Can't get rid of any of the humanities classes and I don't want to. This is gonna be a tough decision.</p>
<p>
Enuf said. :cool:</p>
<p>Math and English are two subjects you shouldn't drop.</p>
