Hey!
I am taking a very fast-paced course on Harvard Summer School: a 7-week program in which we learn Calculus I & II.
You read it right: Calculus I & II in 7 weeks.
Here is the description, if you find this unbeliveable (an overwhelming amount of people here think this is really over-the-top):
How does WP see that for the Admissions Process? Will I be able to "skip" (validate?) "Calculus" in USMA?
Thanks for the insight!

MATH S-1ab Calculus I and II (30390)
Samuel R. Kaplan-Gershon.
Class times: Mondays-Fridays, 8:45-11:45 am. Required sections to be arranged.
Course tuition: noncredit and undergraduate credit $xxxxx.
This is a very intensive course covering differential and integral calculus in one variable, including series and some differential equations. We aim to develop theoretical understanding and practical skills. Some students leave prepared for multivariable calculus; others leave having previewed one-variable calculus. Graphing calculators are recommended but are not used in exams. The topics covered are not identical to those of a BC advanced placement class but do overlap to a large extent. Prerequisite: a strong interest in mathematics plus an excellent facility with geometry, algebra, and analytic geometry, including functions, graphs, exponentials and logarithms, and trigonometric functions. Placement test required. (8 credits)
