@BucketsUCSC Remember that schools often give out scholarships for those who have great academics/sports as well as financial aid for those who need it. Also there’s plenty of other scholarships you could apply for that work to your strengths. If you’re really into the school, I don’t think you should give up on it! Good luck finding a scholarship!

How do all you people take BC your junior year?? At my school, you do A1 8th grade, geo 9th grade, A2 10th grade, precalc 11th grade, then calc senior year!

@lindsgal at my school, we took the previous year’s final to place us into our appropriate math class in 6th grade. I passed the STEM 6 and 7 finals, so I was moved into pre-algebra. I then went on to to Algebra in 7th and so on. However, next year I have to take a double period of Calc AB and BC since I’m going straight from pre-Calc.
