Hello. I’m a junior. I’m in Advanced Math right now, which by default means I have to take a math course next year (4 years of math is required in Massachusetts). My options are Pre Calc, Accounting I, and Financial Literacy. I have never enjoyed math, but I’m relatively good at it and have never received a semester grade below a 90, usually averaging with a 95. However, in regards to Pre Calc, other students, who are better in math than I am, have said that their Pre Calc grades were significantly lower than their previous math grades, usually averaging in the high 70’s and low 80’s. If I have the class first semester, this would mean that that grade would be one of the first colleges will see.

If I took Financial Lit or Accounting, I would almost certainly receive an A, but it may not look as credible as Pre Calc to College Admissions. Which would look better, a C or at most a B in Pre Calc, or an A in Financial Lit or Accounting. I do not plan on being a math or science major. Thank You!
