[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he can pull off an A-. Math is strong suit.

What level math do competitive colleges want to see? [b]Beyond calculus?? [/b][/quote]

Yes.[/quote]

Not true. If stem, yes. If anything else, reaching calculus by 12th is fine (even AB Calculus). [/quote]

This is highly high school dependent. From the top public and the top 2 privates, UVA in state takes students with calc AB as a senior, but all schools more selective never take from that math level unless a recruited athlete or some other big hook. Legacy alone is not enough of a boost: they are all from the top math group, even humanities kids, and alum advisors spell it out to parents that the top levels are expected . These schools have 30% or more taking Calc BC (or multivariable calc) in 12th. Calc AB in 12th is middle of the pack. Parents need to understand how each high school works and what is common and doable from specific math paths. [/quote]

This is not true at our private school.[/quote]
