[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1/4 of Harvard students take beyond Calc BC, more than 1/4 of Princeton students take beyond Calc BC.

It is not unreasonable for seniors applying to UVA to have taken Calculus beyond Calc BC.

It is over half of entering freshman in Engineering and other stem majors at Princeton who have taken post-BC calc , same with Penn. 
Most of them took it as a part of the normal high school curriculum. That is a widely taken path at top public and private day and boarding schools in NY NJ MA , and additionally very common for internationals (a large segment of engineering at these two schools). Thus these students are not taking random CC classes to get to post- BC: they are just taking the highest math path offered at their high school. It is in Virginia too as a normal path, but seems to be offered at only a few scattered schools. No college expects students to take rigor not offered at the high school: completely unnecessary.

Half of math majors, not overall STEM.[/quote]
