[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for your responses. Her narrative/intended major is not STEM necessarily; she's really undecided but has considered Econ or Biology.

I feel like a C is attainable, but there's likely no way she's able to get a B-. If admissions does inquire, there's no excuse othere than "it's hard!". Maybe they'll appreciate her honesty lol.[/quote]

She should not consider majoring in Econ if she thinks HS calculus is too difficult. Econ uses a lot of math. Biology less so.[/quote]

This is not true at all!

OP - Do not,under any circumstances, allow your DD to be scared off from Econ or anything else based on her experience with HS calc!!!

We’ve seen strong high school math students struggle with college math, and we’ve seen the reverse, as well.

So much depends on the teacher/professor, the kid’s state of mind at the time (their priorities/focus), and their “why” (why are they taking the class - does it matter to them or is it merely a means to an end (maintain rigor in HS or meet a distribution requirement in college) vs. connected to a true academic interest or applied to a topic or set of issues they care about.)[/quote]

No the PP is completely right.

Any upper level Econ classes (aka above Macro and Micro principles) require calc.[/quote]
