<p>Krista, I was also very overwhelmed when I first came upon this site and felt like my children were so behind in preparing for the admissions process. But once you are armed with information, I think that you will feel a bit more settled. </p>
<p>You read so much about colleges wanting to see passion in their applicants and I believe that your daughter is at an advantage with her love of math. Sure she could sign up for a math class at the local college, but there are other (more convenient) ways of immersing in math. One of our favorite sites is Artofproblemsolving.com. She could sign up for classes, meet other math lovers and just explore various math subjects. Also, there are a series of competitions administered by the Mathematical Association of America which many math-loving students participate in and are recognized by colleges. </p>
<p>I think that if she pursues what she loves, it is a bonus in admissions. Good luck.</p>
