[quote=Anonymous]DC took BC calc in 9th grade (on track for multivariable, linear algebra and differential equations, and number theory in 10th-12th), and is starting to show interest in specific colleges very well known for math. Even at this early stage, however, I don’t want DC focusing on reach schools - as everyone knows, it’s just not prudent in this day and age.

While circumstances can certainly change, thus far, DC has truly enjoyed and excelled in both humanities and STEM coursework, and is on track to take the most rigorous curriculum offered across the board at DC’s high school. Math is the primary love, however, and DC likely will pursue a math-oriented major in college. Whether that’s pure or applied like physics/CS/engineering/etc. remains to be seen.

Wiser and more experienced parents of DCUM, I would appreciate your insight as I begin to gather information on safeties/likelies with strong undergraduate math programs. I hope to help DC get excited about schools that are actually attainable, not just those that are aspirational. Thank you in advance![/quote]
