[quote=Anonymous]No, you only need Algebra H for applying to TJ. There is no boost on your transcript for taking Geometry. It only boosts GPA for Graduation if kids get high grades because it is a high school course. I have don't know why kids take a course like this in the summer, my kid is a rising 6th grader. I do know that RSM has a Geometry sequence that is a 3 year program. I could see kids who who are two years into the sequence being in a good position to complete Geometry during the summer without sacrificing learning foundational material because of exposure. The only child I know who is doing this is one who wants to attend TJ and a bunch of their friends are doing it. It kind of feels like there is peer pressure to be farther ahead in math classes. The kid does enjoy math and is good at math but his reason is that his friends are doing it. He has also been taking the RSM sequence. [/quote]
