[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kid's classes had a 46% first time pass rate...that's right, more students flunked it than passed it the first time.[/quote] So painful!!! If any parents of future freshman are reading... take it slow![/quote] I’m someone who started out thinking I’d be a physics major at a T30 school and ended up being an English major. My advice would be: Kids from regular high schools who go into STEM classes at top schools should make sure their core math and science classes are retakes of classes they’ve already had in high school, at community colleges or online. The problem is that T30 freshmen who haven’t gone to a place like Thomas Jefferson High may have no idea what it’s like to be in a math or science class designed for kids with a median math SAT score around 790.
