[quote=Anonymous]and the poor liberal arts wannabees don't get to intern on the Hill during the school year either - SHOCKER.
SHAME on BASIS.

you have got to be kidding me................ and fooling yourself........ or just trolling for trouble.  Forget it.

yes my child wants to get a 5 on AP Calculus BC to [b]place out of Calculus completely for college[/b] so that they can just move on in their STEM career which is not going in a math direction at the moment.

But my Ivy never required Calculus as a graduation requirement for liberal arts majors - we had to take two I think science courses as requirements?  Popular names were Rocks for Jocks, Physics for Poets, and Nuts and Sluts (abnormal psychology).  May have been one other.

The scores required on APs to get credit at top schools to place out of science requirements are really high - some even only accept 5's.

I might have washed out of Physics for Poets, but I loved Rocks for Jocks - the rocks were pretty cool, and so was the football team.  Made lifelong friends who I would never have met otherwise in my wannabe intellectual world, who had my back all 4 years, and some of whom I would be able to count on even today, over 20 years after graduation.

Never ever took Calculus, and has not hindered my professional career at all.  Unless the earth has shifted, there is no math requirment for graduating from HYP.

But dc got a 5 on her AP Psychology exam and had a lot of fun in the class, adored the teacher, and loved the subject matter.  Got a 4 on the other AP (required).......... and a liberal arts course (AP gov't something)....

BASIS DC is doing AP's well...........[/quote]
