Abstract math for an average student [HS junior, 3.5 GPA, multivariable calculus completed, <$45k]

That is wonderful to hear!

I agree with others who said strong math kids might run out of advanced math courses at SLACs without access to graduate courses at their own school or at a nearby university. My son rushed through and finished the undergraduate math requirements at his SLAC by the end of his second year, but luckily Wesleyan does offer graduate degrees in math so he could then work on courses and research towards a free 5th year Masters in Math.

My son also used Erica Meltzer for SAT Reading (3rd edition) plus College Panda for SAT Writing. I wrote out notecards on Quizlet for each book since especially Meltzer is extremely wordy and he wanted a short study program. He read my cards for each book section and then did the book exercises. He also did Khan Academy tests. I can message you the quizlet link to use if you decide to use these study books.

Check out Ohio University Honours Tutorial College. You take your classes as one on one tutorials and have no general education requirements other than a single English course and have no prerequisites.

OU has great merit too.

Here is more info on the math tutorial program.

With the premier, excellence, and Trustee scholarships (assuming they stack), the CoA should be around 12k-15k per year

I imagine a lot will depend on gpa (now a 3.5 so not high relative to top scholarships) and an unknown test.

It’s another great option for OP to consider - certainly with the tutorial aspect something one isn’t going to get elsewhere.

How was his 5th year free? Which math courses did he take in his first and second semesters?
