<p>We’ll all see in time–hah, [slightly irritating] cliche. </p>
<p>On a sidenote, the highest level of math my school offers is college calculus. Credits are given if you pay for them.</p>
<p>Sorry in advance about the off-topic ramble…</p>
<p>@cheeseitz: I took Calculus BC last year, in 10th grade. This year I had plans to do a one-on-one multivariable calculus class that would cover a semester of college-level math over the full year, and I got halfway through, but I was frustrated with the teacher and realized that I wasn’t learning so much as memorizing equations, so I stopped. Next year, I’m going to try again with doing a one-on-one class, probably in linear algebra or differential equations.</p>
<p>By the way, this isn’t the “normal” track at my school, if that’s what you’re curious about. Normally it’s Geometry in 9th, Alg. 2 in 10th, Precalc in 11th, and Calc in 12th (for the good math students, of course), although, since it’s K-12, I believe they’re trying to have a course where some middle-schoolers take Geometry in 8th grade, finishing up with Calc in 11th. Anyway, I went to a different middle school where I took Geometry in 8th, and then when I switched schools, I found that the Alg. 2 course was not only really easy but also had significant overlap with my geometry class, so I moved up into Precalc. Oh, and my school just started offering AP Statistics, which, don’t be fooled, is nowhere near the difficulty of calculus, but it’s still a nice course to have under one’s belt.</p>
<p>I don’t think many schools offer anything beyond calc really. As for AB vs. BC, AB covers a semester of college work vs. a year for BC. BC does more with sequences and series, parametric equations, and different methods of integration.</p>
<p>Calc BC at my school. I guess my earlier question about whether to accept my D.C. internship has been answered. Thanks for the feedback Yeoman and Blsflhrt! I appreciate your wisdom. Congratulations to all who made it to interview. That is an accomplishment for which you should feel proud! For the rest of us, I believe God has His amazing Master plan for our lives that simply does not include Telluride.</p>
<p>Took BC last year as well during soph year, and doing Stats right now. The teacher is pretty bad, though - or at least compared to my Calc BC teacher. He was pretty awesomesauce.</p>
<p>Now that I’m thinking about it, maybe I could take multi or differential equations at a local university over the summer if I get rejected from the other summer programs I applied to.</p>
<p>Thanks for everyone’s input! Sorry I made it go off-topic, but I’m happy I got my question answered! I was supposed to take Algebra in 7th grade, but that was when I moved so they pushed me back a year so I had to take Pre-Algebra again. I live in a rural area, so they don’t offer much. It’s cool that you guys are so far ahead in math, I wish I was that far. (: Thanks again!</p>
<p>Yea, they don’t have much at my rural public school either. Calculus at all (AB) is considered an accomplishment.</p>
<p>This year, I’m taking pre-calc and AP stats.</p>
<p>There seems to be an ongoing lack in rural public school education. Where is the equality!</p>
<p>@bogbeast: Not only is there inequality in rural education, but also in urban schools (not all, of course, but many). To the suburbs!</p>
<p>^Funny thing about that. I lived in the suburbs before I moved, and I can honestly say that my hardest year of school so far is 6th grade. I took 5 pre-ap classes, and I’ve never been so challenged in my life. This year I’m not taking any easy classes, either. Sounds pathetic, right? Haha.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m taking Pre-Calculus right now also. I feel stupid for not knowing you could take statistics during it, because they offer it at the community college and I always thought I wasn’t prepared for it. I guess one of the reasons I want to go TASP-or any program that gets me out of where I am now-is to see what other high school kids are doing.</p>
<p>I may be responding too late but, at my school most people take AB their senior year, a few take BC their senior year, depending.</p>
<p>I took pre-calculus over the summer of my sophomore year, AB last year, and so this year I’m in BC and I’m the only junior there, and it’s a class of like 12 kids or so.</p>
<p>My school has a pretty insane math track if one chooses it. The highest you can get is college level Differential Equations by senior year. (precalc freshman year, calc AB taken during sophomore year, calc 2/3 taken junior year)</p>
<p>Public education really needs to be revamped. </p>
<p>I didn’t even know pre-AP classes exist! Ahh, pre-calc. Good times–not. Well, better than Math B, at least.</p>
<p>no email.
rejected.</p>
<p>-_-;</p>
<p>^ There seems to be a firm stance that not all of the interviewees have been notified yet, but will be, at the latest, by the end of the week–I hope it’s correct.</p>
<p>^^ Stoppp. Don’t exterminate my tiny, tiny, tiny little spark of hope.</p>
<p>I’m sorry if I discouraged you. It’s so weird; I called yesterday and Ellen said that decisions would not be emailed…</p>
<p>jelecrois- Don’t worry about it. And maybe some special people were emailed and the rest of us have to wait for snail mail? :</p>
<p>^Oh I really hope so! I’d expected that more people from CC would at least MAKE it to interviews, considering how they did in previous years… I’m just gonna cling to that and try not to think about it I guess.</p>
<p>(As if. I keep refreshing my email inbox 
)</p>
<p>I do, too.
I’m calling tomorrow at 6 A.M. (which is 9 A.M. in good ol’ Ithaca.)
I really do think very highly of my essays (let zeus not strike me for my hubris…) so I’m going to be a little hysterical if I didn’t even make the first cut. Ah, nuts. ><</p>
<p>^ I think most of us think highly of our essays (Greek god genocide??)…I know that when (if?) I get the rejection letter, I’m going to be really upset, even though I’m kind of anticipating it now already.</p>
