What's the minimum math class I can take in high school?
Hi I'm currently a high school junior and my main school is Rutgers since I'm in-state and want to save money bc I plan to attend dental school post undergrad. Recently I saw a post about a student at Rutgers taking Precalc as a class, and I was curious as to what math level course I should take during my senior year.
Unfortunately I've been struggling with my mental health and I'm trying not to go into an existential crisis before junior year ends (hopefully I can end this year with a 3.5) but it has certainly affected my overall grades. My counselor recommended that I take Probs & Stats as an alternative to Precalc, since I'd have to ask our school's math supervisor for permission to take Precalc. I can also do both as a third alternative if I want to challenge myself.
My major would most likely be Public Health @ Bloustein or Biochemistry/Microbiology @ SEBS, so taking Precalc is something I'm still invested in doing since I want to select STEM majors. What should I do?
