Admissions Advice

I'm currently in 11th grade and taking an algebra 2 (non-routine). However, I need to take calculus before ED deadline.

What do you think I should do? Should I take Algebra 2 at school, self-study Calculus, and then take AP Calculus next May? Would it look bad on my high school transcript? Please let me know if there is another way. Thank you!

sounds like your only option. colleges dont typically prefer seeing u take aps on ur own but I think this situation is different. my best advice is to take the ap but be super committed when studying and get tutoring/peer tutoring if possible
