math issue.....

<p>Hello, I am a Sophmore in Highschool. I have a little issue.</p>

<p>The math program at my school is screwed up, they are trying a new system the SIMMS system. In 8th grade, I took a class called Algebra/Gemoetry 1 (the equivalent to the first half of Algebra 1 and the first half of Geometry.) Last year, as a Freshman, I took Algebra/Geometry 2 (the equivalent to the second half of Algebra 1 and Geometry.) This year I am taking Formal Advanced Algebra Trigonometry and Statistics (the equivalent to Algebra 2). I am only 1 year advanced, and I wished to be 2 years advanced, so I am taking Pre-Calculus this summer through The Center for Talent Development Equinox program at Case Western. As a Junior I will be taking Calculus AB. Since my school is small we don't have an AP Calculus class, so I won't have a math class to take as a Senior. This is a problem since the CTD program doesn't count as a class on my transcript, and doesn't count toward graduation. To colleges, it will look like I only took 3 years of math, when I really (kind of) took 4. I was wondering if there was a way I could indicate that I took the equivalent of 4 years of math to any colleges that are looking?</p>

<p>Man, I used the word equivalent a lot.</p>

<p>I don't understand- why do you want to be two years advanced when you're going to run out of math to take anyway?</p>

<p>Under the EC section of your application, state that you took Pre-calc over the summer at (name of program).</p>

4

<p>you could take a class after Calc at a local college or something...</p>

<p>yea you could work something out with your school to take calc II or something at a local college, that would not look bad, much better than dropping math totally (or atleast appearing to)</p>

<p>A local college class.</p>

<p>or statistics.</p>
