[quote=Anonymous]Despite whatever the "arms race" people may think, elite college admissions offices aren't all that impressed if someone super accelerated in math. It doesn't move the needle compared to other bright students with strong applications who didn't super accelerate in math, but instead did something else. They want to see Calculus on the transcript. Anything else is marginal benefit compared to other classes (ie other APs) an applicant could have taken Accelerating in math forces a child to take math beyond calculus because colleges want to see a math class all 4 years. If your child doesn't care much for taking AP statistics or multivaiable calc, you've forced them into it It doesn't help with the SAT, instead they'll have to brush up on material they took years earlier[/quote]
