[quote=Anonymous]Math is an area that top schools want 4 years at HS not just 4 or 5 years of HS math. DS took Algebra and a language in 7th grade. we are more likely to let him drop the language after completing 4 years, although really suggesting he take the AP in his language, then math. He has to take 4 years of math in HS even though that will mean math beyond Calculus. That is what colleges want to see.

The poster who talked about the different college placements for their kid is not going to be the only one who has that anecdotal data.

It will depend on the colleges she wants to attend but if it is a competitive college, something with a lower acceptance percentage, then she wants 4 years of math. I get that she is a humanities kid but she risks a lot dropping the math class, especially since she went SL for her IB math class.

I don’t think colleges see math as any different then English or History/Social Studies. It doesn’t matter that you took some HS math in MS, you need 4 years in HS in those areas. [/quote]
