[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are hundreds of thousands of high school seniors applying to college with a 4.0, perfect or near perfect SAT's, 10 plus AP's with 5's, college courses taken in multivariable calculus, linear equations, upper division chemistry, etc.

The hundred thousand plus students are competing for at best 50-60 thousand slots at top colleges. So much more goes into a successful applicant.[/quote]

Parents,
Let’s be real—there are not “hundreds of thousands” of high school students who are two or three years beyond BC calculus. That might seem normal in this area, but academic deans at two different very competitive private schools (including non-DC boarding school) told me point blank by that there are fewer than 20k or so students who graduate that ahead each year across the country.

If there are 20,000 students from the DMV taking a couple of years beyond Calculus BC, once you add in the other states, you can easily see a couple hundred thousand students taking maths like linear algebra and differential equations.
