[quote=Anonymous]OP I don't think there is any one size fits all answer but I would aim for Calc by junior year only if your DC is very good at math and really enjoys it. Otherwise Calc by senior year. I've had 4 DCs go down this pathway, aiming for Calc junior year and starting Algebra in 6th or 7th and I've seen many of their friends get burned out or overwhelmed and miserable by 9th or 10th grade. One DC currently at UVA who never took calculus in HS (history major) and another DC who was accepted at VT Engineering with Calc A/B in 12th grade. Both also accepted at W&M. My HS junior is in calc A/B but many of her peers who started on this path have dropped off or have been heavily relying on tutors since 8th grade. My 4th took Calc A/B as a senior and is now getting her Ph.D. in a STEM field at a top university. [/quote]
