[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A middle class or UMC white or Asian male needs MVC in high school for Princeton and MIT if they are not an athletic recruit or legacy/donor.[/quote] No. What they need to do for engineering at schools like MIT and Princeton is to be at the top of the math heap at their particular high school. And if that happens to be Calculus BC, that's totally fine. No college is expecting people to commute to a community college to take higher level math. Unfortunately, less than 50 percent of American high schools even offer basic calculus. And students in those districts are frozen out from most engineering programs. Which is a waste of talent. And it's a very small percentage of high schools in America that even offer MV. But, in the DC area, schools like Whitman and Langley will offer it. Plus the magnets. I have no idea how private school students in this area are even remotely competitive for engineering at the top universities. [/quote]
