[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools kid definitely didn’t need top rigor but needed some rigor (kids getting into schools with honors calc as opposed to multivariable if Econ major, for example).

It also depends on what kid will study.

Top rigor and okay grades didn’t seem to do as well.  Little rigor was also limiting. [/quote]

You live in a little bubble if you think that taking multivariable is normal. I live in NYC. The vast majority of kids I know who get into Ivies coming out of top SHSAT schools (Stuy, Bronx Science, HSMSE) and privates are taking calc senior year. Most privates don't even have APs

Vent over.[/quote]

[b]Correct.  Multi variable is rare in NYC private.  [/b]

The high rigor okay gpa ones get in at CMU, Georgia tech.

Humanities ivy admits typically don’t take calculus.  [/quote]

Whatever.  It's the norm for maximum rigor at VA publics like Langley and McLean. [/quote]

Yes. Which is bonkers. Stop the insanity![/quote]
