[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if Vassar meets OP's definition of a top college, but I'd guess their admission standards are at least in line with top schools, and HS calc came up at the info session there. They have a quantitative reasoning component to their distribution requirements and the admissions officer said a strong HS schedule should include calc. One parent pushed back re her DC's difficulty with math, and was told there are exceptions, but these issues should be noted in the extenuating circumstances section of the application (and basically let's talk later). So no calc is a deficiency. Better to just hit the mark if possible.[/quote] Vassar is in the category of "Most selective" colleges. I think it is a top college for this discussion.[/quote]
