[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a student is advanced in Math and enters having already taken Precalculus, can they accommodate the math trajectory? Gonzaga admissions says they will do this for their very advanced math students and let them do dual enrollment with Georgetown if needed but not sure about Visi.[/quote]

Don't know the answer to the question, but will share Visi is somewhat known for being pretty strict on which level math students test into. Definitely know kids who have had to repeat the math they took in 8th because Visi didn't feel like they had a strong enough grasp of the material (this includes kids in the most advanced math level their 8th grade offered).

Regarding schools accommodating her advanced trajectory--I would look at the actual courses offered and ask each school what the solution is if she exceeds the math offered. Most privates won't have past Multi/Diff Eq/Linear Algebra, but they may have some interesting math electives. Some may have advanced Stats ( at our school some seniors take who have exhaused all the other advanced math courses). Our school will also let students take a dual enrollment math course if school doesn't offer it. [/quote]
