Running Out of Math and Science.

<p>Hi guys~ </p>

<p>I'm currently in 8th grade, deciding which courses to take over my high school career...but I have an issue. I'm going to run out of math and science. As a freshy, I'll take AP Calc ABC and AP Chem. Sophmore year I'll take AP Physics & AP Bio. I'll have room for two semester long college math courses. Over my junior and senior years, I'll have another 6 slots open for courses. My real issue is how to distribute these courses between Science and Math, and which courses to take. I'll take the obvious math courses: Differential, Multivariable, and Calculus Applications. That leaves three open slots. </p>

<p>Thanks,
PurePhysics</p>

<p>LOL good luck taking AP bio and Ap physics at the same time. Id reccomend to take Ap bio sophomore year, Ap physics + APES junior year, and Ap chem senior year. Also if you can…take AP calc ab and bc freshman year. If you do this then it is possible to get A’s in all these</p>

<p>I’ve already taken chemistry this year, so I’ll take it next year? LOL APES is a joke. I’ll self study it for fun. I’m also self-studying AP Physics C at an Academy.</p>

<p>One kid I know takes all of his classes at a nearby state university, even though he is still officially enrolled in high school. You or your parents might be able to persuade your HS to do something similar.</p>

<p>That is what I’m planning on doing, however I need to know exactly which classes to take.</p>

<p>For math, you can take a proof based calculus course or a calculus based statistics course. You can probably self study AP Statistics. You should actually really, really make sure you like math before you take any math with heavy proofs.</p>

<p>For science, you can take organic chemistry or physics with differential equations.</p>

<p>Welcome back purephysics <3</p>

<p>Thanks? :smiley: Sounded Sarcastic~</p>

<p>Whale~
I do enjoy math, only when it is challenging.</p>

<p>Purephysics, I just noticed that you didn’t include linear algebra in your list of obvious math courses…</p>

<p>Obviously, all math. AP Stats is mostly useless, and if you want to do stats, do calc-based stats at the university. Definitely take linear algebra. If you want to go further, try analysis or abstract algebra.</p>

<p>On the science side, I hate bio and chem, so all I can say is that if you like physics (as your username suggests), take calc-based optics/thermo (or whatever physics course the local university has after E&M), and intermediate mechanics or quantum.</p>

<p>Of course, scheduling might make this difficult.</p>

<p>Yes, it will be quite difficult to balance the schedule, including the factor of Varsity Baseball.
I apoligize, I meant to include Linear Algebra.</p>

<p>Haiii pure physics<3</p>

<p>I suggest graduating early to solve this problem.</p>

<p>I don’t plan on graduating early, because it is nearly impossible to be accepted into a prestigious college.</p>

<p>LOLOL. Try Harvey Mudd of CMU. They like younger applicants who have exhausted their resources. Come to think of it, most schools do. They just don’t like it I’d you graduate early while you still have a bunch of options left. </p>

<p>I’d also suggest calming down and worrying this during sophomore year while selecting your junior year courses</p>

<p>Harvey Mudd is actually my number one choice. :smiley: and well, I’ll run out of math and science while I’m still 14. soo yeah :P</p>

<p>Check their website. They have an early admission program specifically for students like you. You don’t even need a high school diploma. Basically, you apply when you are a junior, and if you get in you go (if you want). If not, you keep your junior standing, resume your life, and apply to colleges as a senior.</p>

<p>I appreciate the information (: I shall look it up now, because I’ve heard they can provide mathematics classes to “Taped-out” students.</p>

<p>You are such a homo. Don’t plan out all of high school as an 8th grader</p>

<p>I agree, but do you really have to be homophobic about it? Like seriously.</p>

<p>My bad didn’t mean to be offensive</p>
