[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I guess it depends on what colleges you are shooting for. You can forget about the tippy top with 9th grade algebra. But it sounds like that wasn't his/her path anyway (As and Bs). You're not going to get there with any Bs. Sorry.

Not true UMD is a top engineering school. They have a path through community college (gasp) to their engineering program and they require all students to take "real calculus" when they enter their program. They don't care if you have a 5 in your APs, you know business and engineering majors take a different calculus class, they want their engineers taking real calculus.

Also their computer science program would rather see computer science and computer programming and statistics over calculus, so Algebra in 9th is not an issue.

OP, you see the fear mongering going on. Everybody is convinced there is only 1 path to success, it is not true. There are many paths to success. Look at people pitting their kids resumes against each other, don't get caught in the riptide.[/quote]
