<p>Here is the math courses I have taken so far.
9th Grade: Geometry
Summer school btw 9th and 10th: Algebra II
10th Grade: Pre-Calc
11th Grade: Calculus AB/BC, AP Statistics </p>
<p>I have basically exhausted all math options at my high school (there are other math courses like Intro to College Math and Discrete Math which are both considered "lower leveled" math courses than Calculus and Statistics). </p>
<p>I do have the option to take Calculus 3 at local college.</p>
<p>But anyway, how important is it to take a math course senior year?</p>
<p>If you can, take Calc 3 at the local college. It could not hurt in admissions and it will probably help you later on, for placement purposes. (I’m assuming that, from your strong math background, you will major in something that requires math)</p>
<p>If you’ve already taken all the advanced math classes at your high school, they can’t penalize you for not going farther than that.
I don’t think it’s important to have any certain subject every year as long as you end up meeting the course requirements…I’m not taking English or science senior year.</p>
<p>If you take calc 3 at college, and if that’s something that’s rare, I’m sure it’s something positive for your counselor to mention in his/her recommendation, which does show your determination for learning!</p>
<p>I finished all my school’s math options by sophomore year so I’ve not taken anything official junior or senior year. Going to the local U wouldn’t work (too much work for me), so I just made up my own curriculum, watched MIT OCW, made some assignment and did a final project for credit.</p>
<p>I’m a bit behind though. It requires discipline. :-/</p>
<p>If you want to take Calc III at a local college then go ahead but if math isn’t your favorite subject, I really don’t think it’s necessary. You’ve already taken 4 years of math, two of those courses being AP courses. I think you’re fine if you don’t take any math senior year but it’s up to you</p>
<p>I was always told that it was not a good idea to skip math your senior year of classes. That being said, unless you plan on entering a math intensive major (engineering or the hard sciences), you may be able to get away with not taking one.</p>
<p>If you do plan on majoring in a math intensive major, then don’t skip it.</p>
<p>My kids were in your situation, and neither one of them took any math senior year, and it didn’t seem to matter. Neither one was going to major in the sciences, though.</p>
