[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that your kid is only destined for schools ranked above 100 if they don’t take precalc is just false. My DC took stats his senior year instead and was admitted to every school he applied to that was ranked over 20. He had a 3.9 unweighted GPA and a 34 ACT, and was offered significant merit aid everywhere he was accepted. Math just isn’t his thing, and he didn’t care enough about getting into a “top whatever” school to push it. He’s a history major in an honors program and took stats his freshman year. He’s now taking anthropology to fulfill his science requirement. Obviously, things would likely have been different if he were applying to STEM programs or business school, but that wasn’t going to happen for the same reason he didn’t take precalc to start with. [/quote] Also meant to add that DC made an A in his college stats class, and has a 3.9 GPA so far in college. So I don’t think not taking precalc “set him up for failure.”[/quote]
