[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on her SAT scores, grades, and ECs OP. It is too early to be able to honestly answer your question. She just has to do as well as she can do.[/quote]

This is the answer OP.  But realize It is very hard to get into UVA, UNC, CMU, etc., even with AP BC Calc.

If she can take 4 full years of high school math and make it through Pre-Calc (not the standard diploma track where you take Algebra II over 2 years), and get over a 1400-1450 on the SAT (which is going to require a 650 in Math, even with perfect verbal scores),  and get above a 4.3-4.4 WGPA in a FCPS base school and take full APs in science, history and English and language, then she might be able to overcome the poor math tracking for UVA.

UNC is nearly impossible to get into out of state and CMU is a STEM strong school.

Reality check: I have a kid at TJ, and most kids with 4.3s at TJ (where they must pass AP Calc to graduate) and with a 1500 on the SAT get rejected by CMU and UNC.  And these schools will take TJ kids with lower GPAs than base schools.

You are probably not being realistic.
