The compromise position would be to take an accelerated Calculus series in College, if the Colleges offer that option. As an undergraduate Engineering Student, I did Calculus 7 and 8 (over 2 semesters), instead of Calculus I, II, III (3 Semesters). This allows a small group of engineering students to complete their undergraduate Engineering degree in fours years, while most complete their degree in 4-1/2 years or 4 years with multiple summer courses. Of course, the option to get into the accelerated Calculus courses was based solely on the Math entrance exam score. Extremely high scores gave your Advisor the option of placing you in the accelerated series, while medium/good scores would see you placed in the Calculus I-II series.
