precalc highest math in high school

[Anonymous]

what will be the impact of this on collegest for a humanities or design major

[Anonymous]

difficult for anything super selective.

if true humanities (e.g., not social sciences), then Wisconsin or its ilk is possible.

Unweighted GPA? Test scores? Major of interest? Budget? In other words, what level of selectivity would otherwise be relevant here?

A friend's kid took precalc in 11th and AP Stats in 12th with no Calc. Accepted into the IRL school at Cornell. Large [underfunded] public school, no hooks.

Minimal.

DP: This was my kid, who got into every school they applied to (most selective had 20% acceptance rate). DCUM says taking Calc senior year is important, but my kids college counselor said AP Stats was a perfectly fine substitute for a humanities or social science major.

Same here. Accepted HYPS this round, no Calc

Hooked if you count humanities major with awards

My humanities kid took ap precalculus junior year and is currently taking zero math of any kind. So far accepted into VT and Northeastern (Boston). Deferred from UVA. Still waiting on four more.

Wow I'm surprised by this. CW is that Calc AB is needed for T20, esp Ivy and T10 for ANY major, including humanities (perhaps excluding arts if that is housed in a separate college)

[Anonymous]

Doesn't it depend on your HS?
If all of the lowest-tier kids don't take Calc AB, then all of your "competition" will have?

Our public has Calc BC as the highest math, and ours finished with Precalc junior year and AP Stats senior year. In early to HYP, humanities major with one international award (honestly, not sure how much that even mattered), and a best in career LOR, really good essays. (I'm the PP above)

No hooks? URM or recruited athlete?
