<p>Multi in freshman year? I wished I had whatever opportunity you had. It sucks living in rural poverty, but it has its advantages (including cheap but amazing Chinese food!)</p>
<p>@StudiousMaximus-I’m reading Beowulf too.</p>
<p>Oh, I originally grew up in Colorado, and in 7th grade, my teacher advised me to go straight into Calc, skipping pre-calc, so I did. So, I ended up in Calculus I in 8th grade, and therefore went into C/D in 9th. I was more of a lucky kid, who had a good teacher to actually say something like that, but it doesn’t matter much that I’m done with school-related math. Knowledge isn’t as important.</p>
<p>^^How do you like it? We just finished. I thought it was pretty good.</p>
<p>Any of you guys want to go on webcam? We can talk.</p>
<p>About SAT or something like that. lol</p>
<p>I think we should all setup a tinychat during Senior year, and announce our admission letters as they come.</p>
<p>^Yes, that would be excellent.</p>
<p>Gym
AP Physics C (B last year)
AP English Language
AP Chinese
AP World History (AP US last year)
Lunch
AP Statistics (Took AP Calculus BC Freshmen year)<br>
AP Chemistry</p>
<p>And I’m on a 0 period to 8 period schedule EVERYDAY</p>
<p>I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Houssini (sp?) – ZOMG. I thought it was amazing. Everyone should read it.</p>
<p>AP Calc BC Freshmen year? My ass.</p>
<p>^Some people don’t make sense. Really, what’s the benefit of taking so much higher math so early on in your high school career? Once you get through linear algebra/diff eq, it’s tough to do more before college (and you won’t learn it as well as you would in college).</p>
<p>@anaychi I don’t know how to prove this to you but i skip pre-calculus and calculus 1 and took algebra 1 and geometry in 7th grade and Algebra 2 trig in 8th. It ist not that uncommon
@ Studiousmaximum i actually plan on taking college classes for junior and senior year so i don’t think I will run out of math courses throughout high school</p>
<p>@Studious</p>
<p>I used to be that guy who strived to accomplish math classes that were 2-3 years ahead of my grade’s norm, but I’ve realized that it’s extremely unnecessary to do so. You’ve really summed up my feelings on the matter. I find math fun and all, but the point in doing so much is lacking.</p>
<p>If the level of math at the normal level is not up to your scope why not strive to actually find a challenge. How is doing so much lacking?</p>
<p>What are you reading for English, if you’ve started books yet? My class just got To Kill a Mockingbird, which I’ve read at least three different times. Mixed feelings on that but I usually read books for English before we actually read them.</p>
<p>Hey, <em>never</em> did I say I am taking the norm level of math. I’m doubting anyone on this thread is, for God’s sake. Taking 1-2 years ahead of your avg. peer is <em>much</em> more different than taking Calc BC during your Freshmen year. Honestly, what’s the point?</p>
<p>@Franz I’m currently reading Huckleberry Finn, and, being the literary-satire lover that I am, I’m in love with Mark Twain’s sense of humor.</p>
<p>If you have the opportunity to do so what would be the point in waiting.</p>
<p>@StudiousMaximus: You have a point, but it’s worse if you go down a level, and just waste time on something you already know. It’s true that the fundamentals are needed much more, but study those yourself. School doesn’t provide that for you.</p>
<p>Tactics, I agree. But, at least where I live, it would take quite a lot of outside effort to complete Calculus BC at or before freshman year (i.e., studying math at home a lot or taking online courses). Perhaps that wasn’t the case for you, and you just live in a place where the math system is very flexible. Anyway, it’s still quite impressive what you (and gettinginivy) have done. I’m just not sure if it’s really necessary.</p>
