[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since this is (DC)UM, I'm hoping someone has first hand experience. DS (9th) is finishing up Calc BC this year and will score a 5. That leaves us with the option of AP Stats next year, MV and Linear Algebra at Howard in 11th and possibly classes at GW (Lin Alg for math majors and a formal proof based class) in 12th. DS is reluctant to do AP Stats and wants to do MV/Lin Alg at one of the OSSE consortium colleges, which would mean looking for 4 more semesters of math to fill at Howard/GW/Georgetown.

Has anyone in DC gone through something similar with their kids in DCPS, where the highest math offering is Calc BC? How did dual enrollment work out specifically for these math classes?[/quote] OSSE applications closed May 3rd. Assuming there's a reason (cost/commute) for choosing Howard for 11th over GW in 12th, I would suggest looking at math 101, 102, 189, and/or 190 for 10th instead of AP stats. You could also do MV/Linalg in 10th if he likes applied math more. There's tons of options at Howard alone.[/quote]

Thanks. But dual enrollment at private universities is only open for 11th and 12th graders. There is only a small list of courses in Howard and GW available for dual enrollment but a larger selection for Dual credit. Math 101 102 are not listed anywhere but 189/190 are for 11th grade dual credit. [/quote]
