Thanks WoolScarves, I had seen the check list and according to that, for math she needs:

MATH 1914
MATH 2924

MATH 2934 or MATH 2443

MATH 3413

METR 4313 or MATH 4753

If she makes a 5 on AP CAL BC which is very likely, she will get credit for both MATH 1914 and MATH 2924
if she take the Multi class in high school, it covers CAL III plus Muti Dimensional and she should be able to pass the Advance Standing Exam for Math 2443, if she takes the CC CAL III class she would get transfer credit for MATH 2934.

Looking at a math minor as suggested on the bottom of the METR info page (not sure if this is something she cares about or not), if she picks MATH 4753 over METR 4313 she would only have to take one other 4000 level MATH class of her choice to meet the requirements for a Math Minor. This would give her more than the 6 hours required to be done “in residence” and meet the requirements for 9 upper division classes with 6 hours of 4000 level classes.

Before folks start thinking I’m am some crazy helicopter mom that is planning out her child’s college classes, I just want to help her make the best choice for her 12th grade math class. Once she get to OU her classes are between her and her adviser. She could always change her major altogether.

What I’m trying to figure out is, is there any advantage or disadvantage to getting transfer credit for MATH 2934 from a CC class vs. credit from Advance Standing Exam for Math 2443?
D would rather take the Multi class at her school than dealing with the hassle of driving to an off campus CC class, though the thought of the advance standing test is a bit intimidating.
