<p>So, due to scheduling conflicts, I had to drop my math class. I have enough math credits to receive an advanced diploma though, so it won't affect my graduation.</p>
<p>My question is, my counselor said that if I want to take a math class at the local community college, he can write that on my transcript. So even though no schools will see my grade in that class, they will see that I plan on taking it, not that I just stopped taking math.</p>
<p>Now I looked through the class catalog, and the problem is that the schedule is very hard to work in. I'm a captain on the track team and can't afford to miss practices. Because of that I'll have to take classes from 7:30-10:35 or something like that. </p>
<p>So my question to you all: Is it necessary to take a math class at the community college? Will schools see that I plan on taking that and be okay that I couldn't take one regularly, or will they care? Do I NEED to take it to be considered for my schools?</p>
<p>A little background:
I've taken almost full IB courses for all 4 years
GPA: 3.31
SAT: 2160
Possible Schools: Pittsburgh, University of Delaware, James Madison</p>
<p>It seems like it’s pretty much out of your control and you would take it if you had the chance. Just explain this in your application and you should be fine. If you plan on majoring in something related to math, a good score on the Math 2 SAT Subject Test would also help make up for not taking the class.</p>
<p>You can also take a math class on-line. I think both Stanford and Johns Hopkins offer this option to high school students. It’s self-paced too, so you can slow it down or speed it up depending on how busy you are.</p>
<p>My son, a senior, has no math to take this year at his high school too. He knew he would be very busy during the first semester of his senior year, so he managed to take a college level online math course at EPGY this past summer. As M’s Mom mentioned above, those courses are self-paced, but if you do not finish the courses within a certain period of time (I think it’s 3 months), you have to pay extra tuition in order to finish the courses.</p>
