<p>Regarding your question about upper division classes, one of my friends is taking 4 upper division math classes his first semester, and a few others are taking anywhere from 1-3, so you definitely can take upper division classes if you want.</p>
<p>Yes, he’s taking 104 (not sure if H or not), H110, 113, and 191. A couple others are taking similar courses - maybe only 2-3 of the above. I suppose we fall into the category of “rejected by MIT/Harvard/Stanford/Princeton and don’t want to attend CalTech/other Ivies/privates.” He’s definitely good at math, as are all the other people I know who are doing the same thing (USAMO qualifiers/USAMTS Gold/etc).</p>
<p>There was a girl last year too who fell into the above category (except she was accepted into MIT/CalTech, but rejected by the rest), taking quite a few upper division math classes. I think she made it out with a 3.9 GPA at the end of her freshman year.</p>
<p>Immediately jumping into upper division math courses as a freshman would be “normal” for someone who took AP Calculus BC as a junior or earlier in high school, then took all of the university sophomore level math courses at a college as a senior or earlier in high school, if s/he intends to major in math or a closely related subject that would find upper division math useful.</p>
<p>Of course, such students are uncommon in general, but are likely to be found if you look only at math majors and those who intend to major in math.</p>
<p>well i still have to take 54 because i couldn’t fit in linear algebra into my schedule
it seems like all upper divs require 54 so its like i’m stalling for a semester</p>
<p>mjmay7, I’m in the same position as you. I was able to take Diff Eq and Calc 3, but not Linear Algebra. I don’t think we’re stalling at all. We’re still extremely close to upper division courses, and we haven’t even started college yet.</p>
