UCB, UCLA. All of them. [b]Also the test optional portions of the test optional schools.[/b] Chicago, WashU, Vandy, Duke, Columbia. Anywhere between 30% to 50% students are like those at UCSD. [/quote] This! There are so many more competent math students at UCSD (a large school where even today, without the SAT, most freshmen place into Calculus or beyond) than at these small private schools that are admitting a substantial fraction of the class test-optional and then steering them into majors that don’t require math. There’s a lot of people on this web site who seem to think 8th grade math matters if it’s a way to keep poor people down, but not if it might get in the way of a rich kid studying history at an expensive private school.
