[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If AP Calculus AB is the highest math my DC reaches, will they be auto rejected from T15 as a biology/chemistry/neuroscience major? DC attends competitive public in over-represented area with [b]most classmates reaching BC calc or higher.[/b] [/quote]

if that is the case, that most are BC or higher, then yours is average-to-below in rigor and will likely go where the average to below kids go, barring a big hook. 
Our school is about 40% BC or higher, not a majority. The AB in 12th  kids are another 30%. The AB kids can get in to UVA in state but usually do not unless they have super high gpa and every other subject area top rigor, and not going for a stem major. UVA admits from the BC or higher group 80% of the time. The ivies almost exclusively admit from the MVC group, the ones with BC as juniors, for unhooked kids. The AB kids end up at VT(not engineering), JMU, Tenn, Auburn, Clemson.
At the school down the road less than 15% take BC, there is no MVC, and UVA admits the AB kids all the time. They have less going to Ivies, but have had some success with ED other top 10s and it has been AB kids some of the time. Most of the ABs there go to UVA, VT, WM, and LACs are big at that high school: colby, dickinson, UofR for AB kids. [/quote]
