[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If top colleges look to see students are taking the most rigorous curriculum possible at their school, would not taking functions (when it's an option) hurt a student's potential admissions?[/quote]

No.  The other math offered in the magnet is accelerated plenty.  My DC was in the 'regular' curriculum in the magnet and will place out of most of the math required for engineering.  DC was still able to take all the accelerated math electives with others.

My recollection was that [b]a significant number of functions students drop out of the class[/b].  It is not an automatic A by any means.  And those raw grades are what colleges look at. In other words, they won't count a B in functions as 'better' than an 'A' in magnet calculus.

What happens when they drop out? Do they just have one less course that semester (or year?) or do they drop "into" a different course and continue? What will be the new course, and how do they catch up if they join after a month/marking period/... ?[/quote]
