[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a bunch of miserable parents! There are way more academically qualified kids these days then when you were applying. Education is more accessible than ever. DD’s a frost at a well known LAC- there’s students coming in having [b]already taken Differential Equations, combinatorics, Real Analysis[/b], etc. [b]The only person she knows who hasn’t done calc 2 is an art major who took calc 1[/b]…and also has her own studio. Her college is permanently test optional, and the professors say the parents/alum have pressured the school more than the actual students and interested prospective, because having a 1600 isn’t some interesting feat when you have so many talented people around.

That's a lot of copium.  Striver tech immigrant parents non-sense.
No, my son is in one of SWAP, he and his friends never took Calculus in high school.
They don't want robots, they want interesting and fun individuals. 
They want sociable kids, you are not getting in by taking Calculus.  Dream on.[/quote]
