[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if a child doesn't make it to algebra in 8th grade and is instead in 8th grade math, in high school they do algebra 1, geometry, algebra II, and pre-calc, they'll be OK in admissions to selective schools for humanities? I doubt this. [/quote] Having precalc as your senior year math class is more limiting than taking precalc junior and then AP Stats senior year. Substituting AP Stats for AP Calc AB is really just substituting one AP math class for another, and for a lot of kids AP Stats is more relevant to their intended major (and hence its easy for college to understand why they opted for statistics over calculus). For example, if you are a psychology or political science major colleges require that you take at least one semester of statistics, however, calculus is frequently not required. [/quote]
