[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main thing is your high school. Colleges evaluate kids in the context of their high schools. DCUM anecdotes are mostly irrelevant to your DC. Look at Naviance or meet with your school counselor. [/quote] Yes, I think this is the biggest difference. DCUM does raise a parents' blood pressure by quite a lot. Most of us forget that we have no idea which high school, region, or state the person is posting is from. I particularly find it interesting that this forum on DCUM is used by many across the country, from NY to CA. So it's really hard to tell and I think that leads to a lot of panic. [/quote] Very true. My kid was in at their first choice T20 as a math major with “only” Calc AB, while DCUM kept telling me I needed to enroll the kid in online courses (or move!) so she could take BC. Calc AB is the top math offered at our school and it was enough. [/quote]
