[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different poster with a junior in a very similar situation.  DC just wasnt tracked into advanced math in 6th grade and is currently in Honors Algebra 2/Trig with the advanced kids from the grade below.   Otherwise, doing well in all honors/APs.  I feel so guilty for not pushing it earlier as I'm afraid this will be an issue in college applications.  We're not looking at top schools but are looking for merit or honors colleges in probably 60-120 flagships/national universities.[/quote]
Your DC will be fine for those schools. Typically, merit for those schools will be awarded based on GPA, test scores, and an enrollment management algorithm that tells the school how much you'd need to be offered to be interested in enrolling.[/quote]

Neither Colby nor Hamilton offer merit scholarships. And while not having Calculus will probably not be a dealbreaker, it is likely a benchmark that many admitted applicants will have achieved. Wesleyan, another NESCAC school, provides data showing that 85 percent of accepted applicants this pst cycle had taken calculus. I suspect numbers at other top 25ish LACs would be similar.
