<p>Ok, first off I am home schooled and I have taken my math a little slower than the average public school and I realize now that it could hurt my acceptances but I wanted opinions.</p>
<p>This is what I've taken so far:</p>
<p>8th grade - Pre-Algebra
9th grade - Algebra I
10th grade - Geometry
11th Grade - Algebra II</p>
<p>I had been planning on just taking pre-cal senior year but now I am worried that it won't be a challenging enough course schedule.</p>
<p>So should I go the extra mile and take pre-cal over the summer then Calculus Senior year? Or should I stick with only pre-cal? Or is there some other route I should consider taking.</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice or input! </p>
<p>My Current Senior Schedule:</p>
<p>AP English
AP American Government
Pre-Calculus
Spanish 3
Economics*
Physics*
Psychology*
Anatomy*
Microbiology*
Abnormal Psychology*
Equine Work Study</p>
<p>*Taken through dual enrollment at local Community College.</p>
<p>Schools like Cornell say straight up that they want Calculus grades on the hs transcript. Also, you have a lot of science on your schedule - math and science usually march together as a pair. Having lots of science but little math looks odd and could send up flags.</p>
<p>On the other hand if you are planning to pursue a humanities degree, Pre-cal is just fine.</p>
<p>I am hoping to get into UNC-CH (in-state) and eventually into their pharmacy school. I am very good at sciences but I am B average student in math. I am taking the extra sciences mainly because I enjoy them and I am obsessively curious about how the world works.</p>
<p>any one else have anything to offer?</p>
<p>Would it be better for me to take the Pre-Cal at the Community College or take the Pre-cal and Calculus at a high school level?</p>
<p>“So should I go the extra mile and take pre-cal over the summer then Calculus Senior year?”</p>
<p>Yes. Colleges love Calc.</p>
<p>Most of the students posting on CC who desire to be competitive debate between taking AP Calc or AP Stats their senior year. How about taking pre-calc in the summer and Ap Stats senior year as another option?</p>
