@michael: Some people will dabble around in a class of each subject. IMO, these people are more likely to be application padders than interested learners. Whereas you have a clearer focus. Just my 2 cents.

@vaelian: I don’t think they’d take the time to search the CC’s course offerings. So you should probably tell them in the additional info. Or have your counselor do it in her portion. I don’t think colleges will expect you to go past diffy-q, especially when it’s not offered at local colleges. I think they may look for some other form of math involvement, though. Maybe tutoring, teaching assistant at your HS, doing proofs in spare time, some independent study, math team, whatever. You could always take stats, if you haven’t.
