<p>I'm already taking AP Psych and Honors Accounting, so I figured dropping math would be fine. I'm really only looking into Montclair State University, Rutgers University, and such so it's not as if I'm aiming Ivy League or anything.</p>
<p>What math have you already completed, and what math offerings are there available at your high school that you have not taken?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t ever drop a core subject but idk what those schools look for…</p>
<p>I’ve taken Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2.
It’s Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry that I want to drop. I just KNOW that I’m not going to do well in this class and that it’s going to make me miserable and overstressed. I just don’t want it to damage my college acceptance chances too much.</p>
<p>Pre-Calculus is not that hard. If you did reasonably well in Algebra 2 (B+ or higher), then Pre-Cal will be a breeze. That being said, Pre-Calculus is probably the most important college preparatory math class, since next year you will be taking Calculus courses.</p>
<p>Pre-cal is actually required for completing high school in many states. I assume NJ would be the same.</p>
<p>First, why ask us? At best, we’re guessing. You know where you’ll be applying. Ask them. They’ll be happy to tell you whether or not you have “enough” math.</p>
<p>They may even tell you that “accounting” is math.</p>
<p>Better to complete precalculus in high school rather than waste time and tuition money taking in college.</p>
<p>College freshmen are generally expected to be ready to take freshman calculus; precalculus is generally considered a remedial course in college. And if you intend to major in business (which your choice of an accounting course hints at), you will need to take some calculus and statistics (which is applied to economics and finance).</p>
<p>That’s not enough math.</p>
<p>Pre-Calc is supposed to completed on the normal track. AP Calc is for the fast track.</p>
