This worries me. For anyone who is average or below in math this just wouldn’t work. For anyone who is good at math, they are likely to take more advanced math classes. Most “more advanced” math classes are going to depend a great deal on algebra 2. I was a math major in university. I have often used some relatively advanced math on the job. However, a lot of this depends a great deal on high school algebra.
I would not recommend skipping this. There is a very real risk that you will spend a year suffering in a math class that you are not ready to take, and then the following year will need to go back and take the math class that you skipped.
High school algebra is also something that is very helpful to help you do well in the math part of the SAT exam.
By the way, I have a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from MIT. I did not skip any high school math classes.
Again I think that this could be a bad idea unless you already speak Spanish pretty well.
Again I do not get it. UVA is likely to cost quite a bit more compared to your in-state options. You are also from a WUE state which means that other WUE schools are likely to be more affordable compared to UVA. Why do you want to go all the way out east to UVA?
Also, reading your post, to me it looks like you might be interested in some form of graduate school. Is this correct? What are you intending to do with a degree in “Political Science, History, Criminal Justice”? Is law school an option? Law school is expensive.
If you are considering law school as an option, then you should try to save money and avoid debt for your bachelor’s degree. If you could you would be better off to save as much as you can for law school, or for another graduate degree.
I think that you should look closely at your in-state public universities, and at your WUE options.
