is this going to hurt my chances?

Applying to College
1

<p>My school won't let me take regular math. What I'm taking is IMP (interactive math program) which is supposed to be equivalent to the regular math track (imp1 = algebra1, imp2 = geometry, imp3 = algebra2, imp4 = whatever people usually take junior year) except instead of separating into the different kinds of math, it's integrated. </p>

<p>So my question is will colleges care? I mean could they look at it as not completing the math requirements? Or will they see it as kind of like a "remedial" math? (which is actually kind of what it feels like)
By the time I graduate this is the math I'll have taken:</p>

<p>9th - Honors Geometry
10th - IMP3
11th - IMP4
12th - AP Calc</p>

<p>I want to go into something science related in college and I'm afraid this is really going to hurt me.</p>

<p>If you get to AP Calc they won’t care.</p>

<p>Ok, well that’s good to hear. </p>

<p>I have another, somewhat related question… What’s a good way to self-study math? (Algebra 2, in particular) Even though IMP3 gave me the same credit as algebra 2, I didn’t really learn that much math… The SAT is coming up and I don’t want to completely bomb the math section. My mom gave me an algebra 2 book, but I don’t think I can just teach myself. Is there a class I can take online somewhere?</p>
