[quote=Anonymous]Just a decade ago, my best friend got into Cornell, Northwestern, and Hopkins with precalc only. We were in a top school district that offered math up to multivariable calculus, but she hadn't tested well back in middle school when math tracking decisions were made. She was a good student, and the fact that she hadn't taken the most rigorous math sequence was overlooked because she otherwise had good test scores, grades, and class rank. People who were truly competitive for Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, etc. took all the most rigorous courses, but there was some more flexibility the next tier down. Of course things have changed since the mid-2000s, but has it really changed THAT much???[/quote]
