[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids I've known that were accepted to top 20 schools (not for sports) had calculus or beyond. The girls, in particular, w[b]ho stopped at pre-calc did not do as well.[/b] All anecdotal evidence but the colleges are quite clear that they want the most rigorous courses.[/quote] I'm guessing the reason they didn't do well had to do with something other than calculus. Unless you're a STEM major, most colleges DO NOT CARE. I think it shows more self-knowledge for the average kid to get to upper level math and say, I don't get this, I don't want to get this and I don't see the relevance this math will have in my life so I'm going to focus my limited energies elsewhere. By the time you get to Calculus you have taken all the math you need. And as another poster noted, many colleges require you to take or retake Calculus freshman year. [/quote] EXACTLY. [/quote]
