[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is he will be competing with kids with near perfect grades with a similar degree of rigor, so yes, it will matter if he is getting Bs in a core subject of he wants to go to a competitive admit school. What I find troubling is that your child is clearly strong in math but is turning it into a weakness because he is 15 and doesn’t know better. I’d give him the ultimatum of getting a tutor or moving down to precalc.[/quote] This is a bit harsh. Yes he is competing with kids with perfect grades but you are assuming that puts them ahead of him. Colleges take a look at the whole person. Even for a science major at a top 25 that B is just fine if the rest of the record is there to support admission. He tested out of precalc. School not likely to move him unless he is failing. This is not a weakness.[/quote]
