@boxandwhiskers You should be fine by just taking intermediate algebra, honestly. It’s just basic high-school algebra, pretty much. I’m sure you’ll be able to do pre-calc - you’ll just have to work hard at it. It probably isn’t worth taking Elementary and Intermediate.
It’s alright, taking another year will allow you to switch into the major you want. You’ll be fine.
And yes, our district’s counselors are usually hit or miss.
