<p>Take all the math that you can, as long as you’re understanding it all and create a good foundation.</p>

<p>No reason not to.</p>

<p>Yes, take Calc. It will help you in your decision about Engineering. You may opt to retake it in college, but no downside to taking it in hs.</p>

<p>Yes, high school classes are at a slower pace and probably a smaller class size. Plus I think admissions like to see it particularly for engineering. I think it is good to take physics too.</p>

<p>Take the calculus class. </p>

<p>Colleges want to see applicants who have challenged themselves in high school. After all, what the college is offering you, when they offer you admission, is challenge. You have to assume that those who rise up a take those challenges will continue to do so in college. Your chances of admission are much, much better if you reach out and challenge yourself. So take the calculus class and any other class (or activity outside the classroom) that challenges you.</p>
