Question: Do you think I should switch out from Pre-Calculus and take Statistics instead?

Right now I have mostly A’s…..except 1 “B” and one “F” in Pre-Calculus…..I’ve never gotten anything below a “B”

Should I switch out?? I don’t think I could pass that class cuz the teacher is soooo hard. My counselor gave me an extra week to see if I would succeed, but I’m not improving.

So my option would be to take Statistics this year, and then maybe next year take Pre-Calculus once I’m ready….or AP Statistics.

What would you do if u were me??

my dream schools are Ivy League’s and UC schools. I am sooo busy, so I also wouldn’t have enough time for Pre-Calculus.
As junior, I am taking:

1. AP English Lang
2. Chemistry
3. Pre-Calculus or statistics???
4. US History
5. Student Government
6. AP Spanish Literature
7. AP Art History

Extra-Curricular activities:
-Tutor kids at youth center
-Spokesperson
-Fundraising organizer
-School newspaper

Answer: well i mean it depends on what you want your career to be, if you’ll be an engineer, definitely take pre-calc, if your more into econ or administraion, then take stats, al though you’ll still need pre-calc. Long story short, you’ll be required to take at least up to calculus in college no matter what career, so try to get to calculus and take the AP exam and you’ll be better off regardless of what career your taking. Believe me, calculus is much easier in high school than in college. Good luck.

Question: How can I get a job in Corporate / Community Fundraising? I have a sales background?

By Fundraising, I mean professionally, either Corporate or Community. I have a strong background in B2B sales, thus I can see myself fitting into Corporate Fundraising role especially. It seems to be one of those jobs where they always want previous Fundraising experience, but there must be opportunities for someone with my background, mustn’t there?
I am based in Edinburgh, so UK relevant answers would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Answer: These sort of jobs are advertised in Third Sector (magazine and website) and the Guardian on a Wednesday (also website). The best way to gain experience is to do some volunteer fundraising – your sort of skills would be very useful, but you need to understand the voluntary sector as it is a lot different to the corporate world.
