Since the OP’s question was essentially answered, I hope I am not hijacking by asking a similar question about a 4th year of math. My son is a Jr. and is finishing up BC Calc this year. He currently does not have a math for next year. The school offers AP Stats, but he doesn’t really want to take it, and also, would it be a step down from the Calc anyway? The guidance counselor mentioned how they also have Discrete Math, but it is a college prep course and known to be easy even for non-math kids. We are thinking about math at the state University, or possibly community college, but we would want the college credit, so would community college be enough for that? He is planning on going into engineering and will be applying to schools like CMU, Cornell, Duke, Penn, Lehigh, WPI, Tufts, Georgia Tech, Case Western, and perhaps Rutgers. If he didn’t take math, he could ad another AP course. Not sure what to do… Any advice? Our guidance counselor is no help at all.
