[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC will be taking AP Calc as 9th grader. They plans on taking AP stats at the high school, then continute to take higher math classes at the CC for 11th and 12th grade. I remember seeing that 1/3 of Princeton students took a similar path. The upside is hopefully stand out for top colleges. The downside is taking classes off campus and not in high school enviroment. Is the net result that a student stands out enough that it worth the detriment?[/quote] My current junior took BC in 9th, MV in 10th, Diff Eq/Lin Alg this year, and will be taking Num Th next year plus Stats as an elective - but only because Math is 1) his favorite and easiest subject and 2) all classes are offered within his high school. He’s not accelerating in the hopes of standing out, and I wouldn’t even let him if it meant having to take outside classes. Please let your DC enjoy their high school experience![/quote]
