[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this necessary for a top 20 or 50 school? Will starting in Algebra II or Geometry really make a difference? [/quote] No. However, for students aiming at STEM major, which op's DD seems to be interested to major in, fast-track math means getting AP physics C and Calculus BC credits in 10th or 11th grades, and maybe a couple of other STEM AP courses with pre-requisite. This adds some weights for college application. As said above in pp's post, practically you can save some $$$ for college tuition and graduate faster. For most kids that may end up in UMD or in-state public Univ., it's not a big difference, but it's a 50K+ difference for out-of-state private universities or those expensive public ones (e.g., UCB, UCLA, UMich, etc.)[/quote]
