<p>Hi, I'm a rising senior who is a little concerned about my math curriculum.</p>
<p>Between 9-11th grade, none of these were Honors.</p>
<p>9th Grade
Algebra I...B</p>
<p>10th Grade
Geometry...A</p>
<p>11th Grade
Algebra II...A</p>
<p>Then this summer, at the Community College near my house, I took Statistics (equivalent to AP Stats) and got an A. I also audited Precalc. This fall, I am also taking Calc I there (basically AP Calculus AB). The class has already started and I am doing well in it, but the class won't finish until after I apply to colleges (thus they won't know my grade until later).</p>
<p>My question is whether it is of concern that I technically have no credits for Precalc or Trig. For math, my transcript will show I jumped from regular Algebra II to College Stats to College Calculus. Is this good enough or should I fill in the blanks and somehow take Precalc/Trig at the same time I'm taking Calculus?</p>
<p>Your high school counselor should explain all that in his recommendation form/letter. Some colleges will also want you to send in a transcript for your Statistics class - will the transcript say that you audited Precalc?</p>
<p>I will definitely make sure in my transcript that it is clear that I took Stats, received an A, and am in the process of taking Calculus. I think whether the audit shows up or not is my choice. But is it bad to jump from Algebra II to Calc in the eyes of Colleges?</p>
<p>Really? My math teacher from the previous two years is trying to convince me that it is essential to have Trig on one's transcripts. But that would mean I would be taking Trig (and/or Precalc) and Calc at the same time, which doesn't make too much sense to me.</p>
<p>Calculus courses such as the one you are taking require a familiarity with Trig. So the logical assumption for an adcom to make would be that if you can handle calculus then you can handle Trig. I think schools should do away with the whole precalc thing anyway and teach a more rigorous Algebra II/Trig course.</p>
