<p>I recently got a B+ in the Honor's Real Analysis (rigorous calculus) course at my state university. I am a full time student there, but I am still a junior in High School (opportunity offered by my high school). My unweighted college and high school GPA's were both 4.0's before this, but since the class counts for both college and high school credit, my unweighted high school GPA will be affected. This is worrying news, given that I am aiming for the top ten. My question is, how will this look to the admissions committees? I should mention that this class is 2 classes away from the graduate level, and I am going to graduate high school with a math minor from my state university. Also, I could have easily taken the normal honor's sequence (this is the sequence for honor's math majors) and gotten an A. The disparity in difficulty is vast, though I don't know if that will be apparent to the addcom's.</p>
<p>They don’t hire them for their stupidity.</p>
<p>Real Analysis with a B+ as a high school junior is incomparably better than “traditional math sequence” - by which, I mean, it’ll give you such a huge advantage for admission over everyone else that you should stop worrying right now.
I hope that in addition to the “usual suspects” you’re applying to HarveyMudd and Northwestern for their accelerated math sequence, ie, you’d be taking graduate-level math classes as an undergrad in addition to rigorous other classes ( you can also do that at top 10 national universities, of course.)</p>
<p>I am also dually enrolled and taking a full college course load. As some college counselors explained to me, you should write a supplemental essay explaining your program, why you chose to do it, comparing your hs v. the college courses, and how it has benefited you and will make you a better student. I guess admissions personnel at top schools often see some dually enrolled course but not many students who are completely dually enrolled for several years. They deal much more with honors, AP and IB course loads.</p>
