[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah my kid just finished BC in 10th…will take LA, DE, MV before he graduates.

Intended major….

That is how a lot of northeast high schools are, almost half the class takes BC in 11th or earlier even though many of them are not STEM. Its based on middle school tracking[/quote]

I think taking BC in 11th is pretty much the norm at every good public high school in the Northeast and California regardless of their intended majors. At least among the students aiming for the UCs and T50 schools. [/quote]

My kid took BC senior year and got into a top 10 school with no declared major.  Probably won’t do math but might do a quantitative field.  She could have done BC her junior year but after a shaky math class in the pandemic wanted to slow it down so took AB her junior year and then BC her senior year.  I think that was the right call.  My nephew is doing engineering at an Ivy and I think he also did BC his senior year.  I don’t think his school even offers MV or Linear.[/quote]
