[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS went to UMD for engineering. He only took Calc AB and AP Stats, in addition to AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Physics and APES. Plus APs in social studies, economics etc.

[b]Do all high schools offer that? [/b]Shouldn’t they at least offer what UMD expects of a STEM student?

It was fine that he didn’t have Calc BC or multivariable because he took those in the Honors sections with amazing professors. Never would have learned as much in HS.[/quote]

There was a longish thread a while back that pointed out (correctly) that Einstein, at least, offers zero AP science classes. [/quote]

Which means kids are not as competitive for college.  [/quote]

No, if they take the IB science classes instead, they are taking the most rigorous options available *at their own school*, which is how they are evaluated.[/quote]

Not all kids will do well in ib style classes or want it.  Some also are two periods which is hard schedule wise.  Ib match is not equal to calc bc.  [/quote]
