[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would be surprised if colleges didn't think calculus in 12th was perfectly adequate for STEM admits,[/b] even if the course is offered in 11th. Those tracking decisions are made in 5th or 6th grades and are not necessarily reflective of performance in high school.

You could reach out to the high school college counselor and ask though.[/quote]

Virginia Tech told us NOT to apply EA (it had EA back then) for engineering if DS had not finished Calculus BC by the end of junior year.  The Admissions officer said our son would be deferred with a notation that VT wanted to see his performance in BC first.  But that was specifically for engineering.  On the other hand, it's gotten a lot more difficult to get into the state schools in recent years due to cost factors.  It really turns on the level of courses that your own high school is offering.  If it is offering lots of AP courses in math and your math major applicant didn't take them, then a question is raised in Admissions.[/quote]
