[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC attends Stanford. Took Calc in high school and is planning to major in the engineering school. I was surprised though to see that there are summer bridge programs for incoming frosh - I remember reading about a program that includes a math class to gain skills in foundational math to prepare them for Calculus. There is also a writing class to prepare students for a writing intensive class required of frosh and sophomores. I believe many if not most are URM. First generation / low income as well. While I’m sure there are URM with exceptional academic backgrounds and competitive with the top in their incoming class, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more that do not. [/quote]Sigh, surely you must know there are many schools that don’t offer Calculus? [/quote]
