[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, congrats to all whose kids were admitted. We were fortunate to see that our son was also admitted. I do have question. He will land up at TJ having to take TJ Math 1 ie Geometry and due to the path TJ has for math, he will be able to take AP Calculus only by senior year. I hear other kids typically start at much faster pace. Will he be at a significant disadvantage in terms of other courses dependent on Math and in the end for college applications? [/quote] If your kid can handle it (studies math at home, got A++ in Algebra 1 in 8th), the common thing to do to catch up is to take Geom and Alg 2 concurrently, using an elective slot. Geometry is the easiest of all the math classes, a semester class stretched out over a whole year. If your kid was super strong in Alg 1, and doesn't have a year gap in algebra due to Geometry year, then they can breeze through the 1/3rd of Alg 2 that is a review of Alg 1.[/quote]
