<p>I'm currently a Sophomore in Honors Pre-Calculus and 1 year ahead in math. Currently if i stick with my schedule i would do AP Calculus next year and then do MultiVariable Calculus in senior year. While people at my school who are 2 years ahead would take Differential Equations in their senior year. </p>
<p>Option 1:</p>
<p>Stick with my schedule and do MultiVariable Calculus in senior year</p>
<p>Option 2:</p>
<p>Go to my community college this summer, and then next year to take Calculus 1-4 there and then take Differential Equations in my senior year.</p>
<p>Will not taking Differential Equations senior year hurt my chances of getting into a good college?</p>
<p>Some Colleges I want to go To:</p>
<p>MIT
Stanford
Berkley
Northwestern</p>
<p>Your current schedule is fine! Don’t waste your summer at a CC. If you want to go to a really good college you should try to do a summer program, job, or internship.</p>
<p>I am also doing the same thing you are, I am taking AP Calculus BC (1 & 2) this year so when I am a senior, I can take a college math course.
I agree with sunshower, I don’t see any reason to rush and go to a CC to get courses out of the way, enjoy the math…you will be fine.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that most students applying to top colleges such as MIT, Stanford etc. have only finished high school Calculus and have not even taken multivariable. So don’t worry about it!</p>
<p>Ya, stick with your schedule. Oftne those summer courses at community colleges are rushed since there is only a couple of weeks to learn everything and then you’ll rush through calc without completely understanding it. Then, when you go to DiffEq you won’t understand it because you don’t have a solid foundation in calculus.</p>
<p>i’m taking BC as a junior and for senior year taking multivariable first semester and differential equations second…just do that</p>
<p>through my school or through the community college?</p>
<p>Yeah, MVC in college is a 1 semester course, so you can do MVC fall and do Diff. Eq. spring.</p>
