[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If AP Calculus AB is the highest math my DC reaches, will they be auto rejected from T15 as a biology/chemistry/neuroscience major? [b]DC attends competitive public in over-represented area with most classmates reaching BC calc or higher.[/b] [/quote]

Auto-reject, no.  That 'most' classmates reach BC or higher could play a factor in rigor perception, I would think.  If AB is required before BC, then that would be a function of math tracking earlier on and might factor in differently than if students can choose to go AB or BC and most choose BC.  In that I would think it possible those students get a 'bump' in rigor perception'.

I think the 'risk' is more that other students get a 'lift' versus your DC gets a 'demerit'.  Kinda like test optional. They say not sending in a test score won't hurt you, but that doesnt mean it doesn't help the student that sends it in.

That said there are essays, recs, ECs, all the other classes taken, etc that factor in.  It doesn't hinge on a single class taken/not taken but it is a game of inches.
