<p>Yes. It comes after Calculus AB and BC.</p>
<p>Holy bejeezus and you’re a sophomore? CC just amazes me.</p>
<p>In my grade, there are 5 kids taking the class as sophomores. My grade is highly competitive. There are 746 kids in my school’s class of 2016.</p>
<p>Geez. No one at my school except me has taken multivariable. Literally the smartest math people take BC their senior year. I was a freshman in that class with only seniors.</p>
<p>You took BC as a freshman? I took H Alg 2 as a freshman and then self studied Calc AB, took the AP exam for it and got a 5 so took Multivariable.</p>
<p>I finished Algebra 2 H in eighth grade and tested out of Pre-Calculus, then took BC in ninth grade, yes. Also got a 5 (but I mean, they do curve it a lot).</p>
<p>I’m self studying BC right now lmao</p>
<p>Plan to take multi variable next year and differential eq./ advanced number theory/ other crap senior year.</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity, the girl has basically subscribed to the " load up on AP classes" mentality. She thinks having a high GPA and test scores with a few spread out EC’s is good enough as long as she takes like twenty AP’s. If she thinks that, who am I to correct her?</p>
<p>The thing I like about CC people is that you guys actually know exactly how competitive these schools are. Most of us generally realize that we’ll have to do something significant to gain acceptance into one of these schools and that just loading up on AP classes and joining the key club isn’t the proper way to go about it.</p>
<p>Gosh how do you people take Algebra 2 and then self study Calculus freakin BC, it’s just amazing.</p>
<p>I don’t see a purpose in doing that.</p>
<p>Purpose in doing what? Self studying BC? I don’t see the purpose in NOT doing that.</p>
<p>For one, there isn’t a BC class at my school, only AB. If I’m going to dedicate a year of my time, I’m not going waste it on just AB; I might as well do BC.</p>
<p>Even if there was a BC class, it wouldn’t do much good. We have no good teachers here.</p>
<p>made about $92,000, in six days, on a virtual stock market app. </p>
<p>Anyway, do you guys deliver a proposition to the school about placing out of classes?</p>
<p>My school won’t hear it. We have a lot of delinquents as I stated above, so we don’t have any people (other than me and one/two others) who are qualified to place out of classes. As a result, the administration views allowing students to place out of classes a waste of time and effort and won’t let any of us place out, no matter how qualified we are.</p>
<p>It’s annoying. I had to make a bunch of major changes to my schedule in frosh year as a result of the rigidity here. I had to double up on Alg. 2 and geometry (which the counselors strongly recommended against because “I wouldn’t get a good grade.” I ended up with 100s in both classes) and basically took two periods that I could’ve used to fulfill the more stupid graduation requirements (art, economics/gov, etc.). I could’ve easily tested out of both Alg. 2 and geometry.</p>
<p>I’m so happy; it’s officially our first day of winter break. 
Besides doing some major studying for finals, I need to figure out what winter and spring activities I going to do. Specifically, I desperately need to enter some creative writing contests (for short stories or poems). So if you know any, I would be really glad if you shared.</p>
<p>So do you guys celebrate the holidays? I love Christmas mainly because of the music; it’s so uplifting.</p>
<p>@TeamRocketGrunt Exactly! One of the girls at my school applied to Yale SCEA, and she got deferred. Then I heard people say, “wow I thought she was a shoe in for yale”. Little do they know that these schools are really competitive and only grades won’t cut it.</p>
<p>
EXACTLY THE GUIDANCE COUNSELORS AT MY SCHOOL.</p>
<p>@Cornball - Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, but I’m sure you heard of that. I have a few others bookmarked but I have to go somewhere right now, so I’ll post them sometime tonight.</p>
<p>What are all of your plans for winter break? I’m going to the Bahamas and Miami…but bringing all my homework/books there because all my teachers assigned SO MUCH WORK. I guess studying at the beach is better than studying at home.</p>
<p>Can one be forced to go to school on saturday to take a mock AP exam?</p>
<p>When I took APUSH we had to come to school on Sat. to take one a couple of weeks before the real one. Except for one girl who had to go to Sat. school at church, she told our teacher ahead of time, everyone went. If someone had skipped they would have just been yelled at; it wasn’t a grade or anything. Since it was my first AP, I was glad our school had it since it was nice to get a feel for what it would be like.</p>
<p>The problem is ours is worth a grade…</p>
<p>Next semester we have to take our AP Chem final on a Saturday. For 4 hours. AP-test style. Fun stuff.</p>
