[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get what you're trying to do here, but I don't think it really is all that helpful. There are so many things that go into a college's admission decision (ECs, recs, gpa, etc.) that is really is impossible to know how any one math class is going to affect your student's situation. There will be students who take an AB Calc/Stats math path who end up at Harvard and students who take MVC+ who end up at a much lower-ranked school.

Also depends what courses are available to students at different schools.  Colleges take that into account. [/quote]

+1 also depends on what kind of school or program a kid wants or can afford. Sometimes people on here act as though a kid going to a school ranked 52 applied to and was rejected from the 51 schools listed above it on a web page, when in fact it is a certainty that the student did not apply to all of them and is possible that the student didn't apply to any of them. Example: My DC took the highest math available at the high school, but did not apply to any public universities, nor any private universities in the top 20, nor any of a certain size limit he chose, nor any that required a plane ride, etc. etc.[/quote]
