hello community~!!
NOTE-I put this in the wrong section before and this may be wrong too lol but I think its a bit better
I didn’t really realize what it would take for me to get into my dream schools, until I visited some of them myself. I’m a freshman in high school but I was visiting colleges this week because my sister is trying to get recruited and was meeting with some coaches. anyway, I visited numerous campuses including, Georgetown and John Hopkins, and I REALLY want to attend school there, particularly Georgetown. I fell in love with the schools. Both schools mentioned that they need to know that students are taking those AP classes and academically challenging themselves. this is where my heart sunk and I need your help! I’m not very good at math and I am taking an A level. I’m currently taking Algebra 2A. (for reference, again, I’m a freshman). I do have the opportunity to take AP Multi Variable and Calc AB in junior and senior year (provided I excel Pre Calc A in sophomore year), however do you think this low level class choice will impact my acceptance into these schools? I can override my way up into Pre Calc Honors next year as I am excelling Algebra 2A (except for a gigantic slip in my midterm as I thought it was a joke but I realize now I was stupid) but I KNOW for a fact that class will be extremely difficult for me. I hope that all made sense and I’m really torn between doing well in a class and challenging myself, please help! I don’t know which math class to take next year!
thank you!!
Take the most challenging curriculum you can. You can expect the subject matter to be harder when you actually get to college. Preferably, you should get through at least AP Calculus BC by the time you finish HS.
