[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter got invited to the phs smcs program and we are still in the process of accepting or not. 
I was wondering if any upperclassmen parent can answer a question. For the math pathway in the smcs program, is it possible to spread the math classes to one per year.  It seems in junior year both ap calculus bc and ap stats is listed to be taken, is it possible to spread out the classes, ie take ap stat junior year and ap calc senior year.?[/quote]

I know your child was invited but if you are concerned about the double math as a junior, SMCs is not the right path for your child. It’s an incredibly rigorous path. Don’t choose the path because your child was lucky enough to get in. It’s a really tough. We know several friends that have dropped out.[/quote]

OP, ignore this comment. Probably it’s someone who wants your daughter’s spot or a troll.[/quote]
As the parent of a former SMCS student, I would agree with this advice.  It is very tough for kids that don't like math. [/quote]

My kid was accepted to SMCs but chose another program at PHS. In retrospect, we are very glad. The program is great for the right kid. I’m just saying, be careful and make sure it’s the right fit. Besides the kids we know who dropped out, we know several that burned out or got too many Bs and couldn’t get into places like UMD etc.  SMCs is the toughest program and probably has overall the brightest kids but you have to do what’s best for yours.[/quote]
