Courses for Junior YearAnswered
Hi, So I did Algebra 1 freshmen year and got an A, and then did Honors Geometry in sophomore year and got a A. Algebra 1 was super easy but I struggled quite a bit in Geometry but ended up doing good. Now this summer I have the chance to take Algebra 2 or I can wait for the fall to start Honors Algebra 2 but then I would not have a chance to do an AP Calc class. So should I do Algebra 2 over the summer than do AP Calc AB junior year and AP Calc BC senior year or should I do Algebra 2 over the summer then do AP Stats (11th) and AP Calc AB (12th). I wanna major in Pre-med at a top20 or ivy league so AP courses are super important to me, I already am doing AP Lang, Lit, Gov, US history, Human Geo, Psychology, Biology, Eurohistory, and am missing a math course, or lastly I could just do Honors Algebra 2 in 11th grade , and self study for AP Stats and then do AP Calc AB in senior year. What do you think?

If you think you can take Algebra 2 and Pre-calculus during the summer, go for it! Finish your math credits as early as possible, so you could focus more on your passion (science for pre-med) and other AP subjects.
I took Honors Algebra 1 in 6th grade, Honors Geometry in 7th grade, Honors Algebra 2 in 8th grade, Pre-Calculus and AP Statistics in 9th grade, AP Calculus AB in 10th grade, and AP Calculus BC in 11th grade (this year). I plan to take multivariable calculus (Calculus III) during the summer and am currently choosing my classes for senior year.
Strengthen your strengths (which I assume is STEM) and get it to the highest levels possible!
In addition, 1-2 years of Calculus level or higher is usually recommended for top schools, so keep that in mind.
Hope this helps,

Thank you for the advice, taking those classes in middle school is really impressive, I appreciate the advice.
