[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Correlation is not causation. There is no evidence that math beyond calc BC provides a bump in admissions. Go ahead and ask an AO. Yes, students who are advanced should take some math all four years of high school. That doesn't mean it makes sense to rush to calculus. And no one needs to take calc freshman year. My student did so because he took precalc in 8th (algebra 1 in 5th), but that is radical acceleration and rare. It was pointless for the purpose of college admission.[/quote]How were they allowed to take algebra in 5th, when the further level of acceleration allowed by gatehouse is algebra 1 in 6th?[/quote]
