[quote=Anonymous]Our son just started 9th grade and while he's a capable kid, his favourite subject is not math. He was always in the advanced track but has requested that he take the track one step down which might get him to AP Calc AB by senior year. His interests are in language arts and writing and I can see him piling up on those classes instead. I don't want him spending all his time studying math when he can pursue his other interests.

Would this disadvantage him if he wants to aim for top tier colleges? I finished AP Calc BC bc it was the natural track that I was on, but the tracks these days are a lot more complicated.

My feeling is that it won't disadvantage him, but wondering if it would not be considered as "rigorous" as if he had taking AP Calc BC.

Is AP Calc BC necessary for admissions to top schools?

Are there any parents out there with kids who made it to top tier colleges with just AP Calc AB?

(Don't mean to sound obsessed with top tier colleges... all colleges are hard to get into these days. I just thinkt he might be interested in applying to some of those schools come senior year.)
