[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calc BC junior year kids often end up in remedial math in college?  I would like to see that data..[/quote]

You misread, those that take stats instead of calc, not those taking BC.[/quote]

Nope 8:20 is responding to a post about kids who take BC as a Junior and then take AP Stats as a senior.[/quote]

Right, but that scenario would be rare (most BC kids wouldn't be interested in taking stats their senior year, unless they purposefully want to take it easy). But I agree that the stats course is designed with few mathematical prerequisites, which means someone taking stats in lieu of calculus (which is common), may be considered as possibly needing remediation in college, depending on their grades. But colleges would certainly not think that of someone who already took calc early, did well, and is taking stats senior year. They may think the kid isn't challenging themselves enough, which is likely to be the case if they plan on applying to a selective college.[/quote]
