<p>I am going to be a senior for the 2014-2015 school year. I took Calculus BC last year as a junior, which is the highest math class my school offers. My initial plan was to take Honors Statistics this year, but my school canceled that class because there weren't enough signups. I could take regular Statistics, but I really don't want to because everyone says that class is a joke (even the kids who hate math). </p>
<p>Would it look bad to colleges to not take a math class this year? I am also considering going to a community college to take Multivariable Calc, but I would rather not because of tough scheduling issues.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I’d advise taking Multivariable Calculus if possible.</p>
<p>I had a friend who ran into the same problem and doubled up on sciences instead. She got into MIT. (Then again, maybe she was taking outside classes somewhere else and i just didn’t know it).</p>
<p>Does your school have AP stats? </p>
<p>Right now I’m signed up for AP Bio and Environmental - so I’d be taking 2 sciences too!</p>
<p>And no 
we don’t have AP stats. We usually have honors (which prepares us for the AP test I guess), but not enough people signed up. So we only have regular stats.</p>
<p>There are other math courses besides multi-variable calculus and statistics…you can take differential equations, linear algebra, or perhaps a course on number theory or group theory. Lots of fields out there…</p>
<p>If you finished AP Calculus BC by the end of your junior year, you don’t need to take a math class in your senior year if you don’t want to or it’s logistically difficult. People recommend taking a math class every year because making it to calculus before your senior year is relatively uncommon. I would still recommend taking a math class, but not because of college admissions. Does the community college have any post-Calculus II classes other than multivariable calculus?</p>
<p>If you have liked one of your previous high - level math teachers, why not try talking to them and see what they have to say? Depending on if your school let’s you do this, you could independent study a higher level math course under a teacher’s supervision. </p>
<p>I’m in a similar situation to you (except I’m a junior) and this is the program that I’m doing. <a href=“http://www.uccs.edu/mathonline/general-information.html”>http://www.uccs.edu/mathonline/general-information.html</a> I would recommend multivariable calculus if you can afford it ($788).</p>
