[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated college in 2010.  I went to a very competitive suburban high school where most of the smart kids took calc BC as seniors, some as juniors with multivariable/linear algebra as seniors.  That being said, a handful of otherwise good students (mostly honors/APs) only had pre-calc by senior year.  The list of schools I can remember that they attended included Reed College, Bard College, Northwestern, Boston University, Sarah Lawrence, Duke, American University, and DePaul.  So it really depends on a number of factors: if their curriculum was otherwise rigorous (honors, A.P., and/or I.B. classes), whether or not they are an athlete, whether or not they have some special exceptional talent in other areas (i.e. a talented musician or winning a writing award), etc.  Maybe if you want to go to Harvard it might be an issue, but otherwise there should be options.[/quote]

Just visited BU this week and they strongly implied that you need Calc to be admitted.[/quote]
