I didn't take math 10th and 11th grade will this hurt admissions?

<p>I took algebra 1 7th grade
Geometry 8th
Algebra 2 9th
Precalculus summer 9th grade
As a senior I'm taking ap statistics and online calculus
I have a 2000 sat and a lot of extracurriculars.
Will this several affect my chances?</p>

<p>Maybe, what schools are you considering? How is your score on the Math SATs?</p>

<p>If you are applying to Stanford, as your name implies, I would say yes, it will hurt. However, it could be made up for if you have high Math SATs and you took rigorous alternative courses (probably science courses would be best) instead of the math classes.</p>

<p>Did you stop taking math because you exhausted the math offerings at your school, or did your school offer calculus but you simply decided not to take it in 10th or 11th grade?</p>

<p>If the latter, it does look weird (and not in a good way) that a student who is two or three grades ahead in math (normally considered one of the top students in math) would stop taking math before exhausting the math offerings at the school.</p>

<p>The math teachers at my school are awful and I didn’t want to risk getting a C :confused: my sat math score is a 760 though if that makes a difference?</p>

<p>Yes, but not as much as having a 2000 on your sats.
It’s hard to sell yourself as great at math and then not take it for 2 years. </p>

<p>Is the 760 on the sat II or the math section of the SAT I?</p>

<p>My D’s guidance counselor told her that strong (honors or higher) math every year is very important. Your situation just appears very wierd. If you pulled a 760 on your SAT, BUT you were scared to get a C in math in a school class??? Hmmm…that just looks wierd. Or it may appear that you are lazy (even if you are not). I just don’t think this looks good at all. And then your GC is going to have to say if you took the most rigorous courses offered and that is going to be a no. So I’m sorry to say that I think you may have a problem with this. Good luck though.</p>
