[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right now she's enrolled in honors bio and honors geometry, so her track is honors bio > honors chemistry > honors physics and honors geometry, honors algebra 2, honors pre-calc, AP Calc AB. It's the last year of science we're struggling with. The community college an hour away tops out at "integral calculus."[/quote]
There's a good chance the community college offers virtual classes. While they are less than ideal learning environments, they are still an option to show prospective universities that she has the right stuff.[/quote]

Depending on your budget, there is also no reason why you would need to pick the community college an hour away.  She could take an online course from any one of a number of universities and colleges around the country that make their classes open to high school students.

Integral calculus is BC.  Taking a 2 semester calculus sequence in senior year, instead of or in addition to AB at her school, or using summer school or an online class to get ahead, taking AB in 11th, and then Calc 2 and 3 at a different online school in senior year, would all make her stand out as someone who went beyond what was offered.

Similarly, if her school has space for electives in the schedule, something like

9th -- Honors Bio, 
10th -- Honors Chemistry
11th -- Honors Physics and APES
12th -- AP Bio, and DE (virtual) Physics

would also make her stand out.  [/quote]
